Re: kernel headers



Hello,

The library is rather uncritical for system programming. You have a function
"ioctl()" which will never change it interface in ages, but there are all
those little parameters which tend to change from kernel version to kernel
version. This is  the real problem with having out-of-date headers on your
system.
