2009年10月18日 Paul McFerrin: > Yes, it is an emulation of a Kernel No, there is no _syscall interface into the kernel as there is on Linux and elsewhere. Cygwin emulates the C library layer instead. However, looking at my Debian system after installing the 'manpages-dev' package, 'man 2' is actually taken to mean 'library system calls', i.e. it contains all the C-level wrappers around the actual syscalls. Those include many standard POSIX functions that Cygwin does implement, i.e. the likes of fork() and mknod(). So I guess a volunteer is needed to identify the pages that do apply and package them up. Apart from that, I find the POSIX spec is a great resource for this sort of thing, e.g.: http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/000095399/functions/fork.html And there are various online versions of the Linux man pages, e.g.: http://linux.die.net/man/2 Andy -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
