The changes committed with revision 1.127 of tty_pty.c and the appropriate changes to the ttycom.h file remove the TIOCREMOTE ioctl. The commit message was as follows: "It was added 22 years ago for emacs to use, but emacs gave up on it it 17 years ago." Ignoring the fact that many operating systems have TIOCREMOTE implemented (meaning, FreeBSD provides a nice new portability issue for now and the unknowing future), several ports are *already* broken due to this. This ioctl is widely implemented, and even though not a fad of any sort, it is used where it should be. The functionality it provides is of use. I think it would be feasible if someone was to roll-back the both sys/ttycom.h and kern/tty_pty.c -- Samy Al Bahra <samy_at_kerneled.org> '---------- http://samy.kerneled.orgReceived on Thu Jul 15 2004 - 08:58:22 UTC
