<EM>&gt; &gt; Oliver Rauch asked:
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; &gt; The question is if I can expect that fileno() is available
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; &gt; on most/all systems xsane does compile on.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; I believe fileno() is specified in POSIX 1003.1 and is available
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; on HP-UX, AIX and QNX as well as in glibc. So you're probably safe
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; using it.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; Fine, thanks.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; By the way, does anyone know if mmap does anything else than
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; buffer=malloc(size) + fread(buffer, size, 1, file) ?
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; This way I would not depend on mmap and fileno.
</EM><BR>
<P>Conceptually it does basically this, but it is much much faster,
<BR>
requires less real memory, is much much faster, automatically writes
<BR>
changes to the mmap()'d region when memory is changed, is much much
<BR>
faster, and is much much faster. :-)
<BR>
<P>I think any UNIX system recent enough to support mmap() will also
<BR>
support fileno().
