>Description:
Given that NetBSD, OpenBSD and DragonFly (as well as Solaris and maybe
others) support it, it'd be nice and worthwhile to implement it too on FreeBSD.
I posted a shar on freebsd-hackers "add closefrom() call revisited" available at
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-hackers/2007-September/021735.html
It contains 4 possible implementations and comments that, I expect, addresses
the points raised in the first posting at:
