From: ron minnich <rminnich(a)gmail.com> To: TUHS main list <tuhs(a)minnie.tuhs.org> Subject: [TUHS] 4.1c bsd ptrace man entry ("ptrace is unique and arcane") Message-ID: <CAP6exYJshbA5HxOJ_iM21Cs0Y4vGfLuFigXxh4WTeqbZreY8UA(a)mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" I always wondered who wrote this, anyone know? I have my suspicions but ... ".SH BUGS .I Ptrace is unique and arcane; it should be replaced with a special file which can be opened and read and written. The control functions could then be implemented with .IR ioctl (2) calls on this file. This would be simpler to understand and have much higher performance." it's interesting in the light of the later plan 9 proc interface. ron
