usbd and boot
|
| |
How does usbd interact with the boot process? I noticed that #u gets mounted on /dev and usbd gets run by the boot process. I don't see /srv/usb getting mounted on /dev (thats where the devices appear, right?). If I plug in a usb keyboard during boot, would I get to use it? If so, how does it get accessed?

arginit and argopt in arg(2)
|

arg(2) refers to arginit and argopt in NAME, but neither exists anyplace I can get to (including all version of libc.h in sourcesdump). Are these a holdover from pre-4ed? I lost my 2ed CDs so I can't look back before what's in sourcesdump. --lyndon

| |
i've updated 9atom to include tracing in the cd kernel (so it can be easily tested) and in 9pcf if you'd like to play with it. everything needed to rebuild the kernel should be included. this is a departure from previous 9atoms that modified no source. if this change is a problem, please let me know why. i'm just trying to make rebuilding... more »
