Does anyone still have the pseudo-device driver posted about a year ago
that allowed one to create devices that when opened just returned a dup of
the descriptor corresponding to the minor device number? This allows you
to create devices like /dev/stdin, /dev/stdout, and /dev/stderr so that
programs that usually take a just a filename as an input or output argument
can be redirected.
The target is a vax running Ultrix 1.2. And yes we have sources already.
Please do not post the sources or any me-too's; mail to me and I'll act as
a clearinghouse.
Also, I'd be interested in hearing any comments that people have (esp. if
anyone archived the discussion). Again, please mail.
Many thanks,
