its nice to see the direction the big companies are going in. IBM with its linux support, and this.

the math department chairguy at my school who stepped into my c++ class a year ago said something that disturbed me. he said, write good code, then use really obscure variable names and make your code hard to read once youre done writing your program, so no one will be able to copy your code ever.

yeah thats productive. make it impossible to maintain, and never ever try to help others, or even give others a CHANCE to improve upon what youve done. i see his point, but that is the entirely wrong approach.

hopefully with moves like this people will see that you can STILL make money while writing open source software.

NAME

       clprivnet - SUNW,clprivnet Sun Cluster private network driver

SYNOPSIS

       /dev/clprivnet

DESCRIPTION

       Note -

	 Beginning  with  the Sun Cluster 3.2 release, Sun Cluster software includes an object-oriented command set. Although Sun Cluster software
	 still supports the original command set, Sun Cluster procedural documentation uses only the object-oriented command set. For more  infor-
	 mation about the object-oriented command set, see the Intro(1CL) man page.

       The  SUNW,clprivnet  Sun  Cluster  private  network driver is a STREAMS pseudo driver supporting Sun Cluster resident applications that use
       standard Solaris interfaces to communicate over the Sun Cluster private network. By striping data traffic over all links, this driver opti-
       mally utilizes the bandwidth of the private network while supporting highly available, software fault-tolerant communication.

APPLICATION PROGRAMMING INTERFACE

       The driver is supported by the character-special device /dev/clprivnet, but is reserved for Sun Cluster internal operation and the standard
       Solaris network utilities. This interface must not be directly used for general application communication.

ADMINISTRATION

       The administration and configuration of the driver as a network interface is done completely by the Sun Cluster infrastructure internals.
