Fri Feb 3 08:57:33 EST 2006 rsc There is no record of closescsi ever existing. I'm pretty sure the locking was there from day 1. I may well have written the man page first (I often do that for new libraries to plan them out) and then simply forgotten to implement it. Thanks. I took the locking out, by the way, as it's insufficient. If there is any contention for s at the time you're calling closescsi, you have problems.
