SCO's Bankruptcy Hearing Monday Is Called Off
SCO's bankruptcy hearing scheduled for Monday in Delaware has been cancelled. The next one will be on July 12 at 1:30, or so they say, so if you were planning to attend on Monday, please rearrange your plans.
This is the third time in a row that SCO has cancelled a bankruptcy hearing. They cancelled in May, and they cancelled in April, and now again they cancel in June. Is there perchance something they'd rather not tell the judge? Something they don't want the creditors to bring up? You think?
I have a question for him. Why isn't SCO in Chapter 7? What is the plan to pay off the Yarro loan so all the assets don't end up in the hands of the man who started this whole fiasco?
I guess Judge Gross will just have to wait to find out SCO not only lost the jury trial, which he knows already, but also SCO's laughable effort to get the copyrights given to them as a present from the judge in Utah anyway. What to do? What to do now? How to stay protected in bankruptcy (so IBM can't eat them alive) while they try to figure out if they can appeal and if so, how. A hearing might be a tad awkward at the moment, I'm guessing.

cfree

CFREE(3)						     Linux Programmer's Manual							  CFREE(3)

NAME

       cfree - free allocated memory

SYNOPSIS

       #include <stdlib.h>

       /* In SunOS 4 */
       int cfree(void *ptr);

       /* In glibc or FreeBSD libcompat */
       void cfree(void *ptr);

       /* In SCO OpenServer */
       void cfree(char *ptr, unsigned num, unsigned size);

       /* In Solaris watchmalloc.so.1 */
       void cfree(void *ptr, size_t nelem, size_t elsize);

   Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):

       cfree(): _BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE

DESCRIPTION

       This function should never be used.  Use free(3) instead.

   1-arg cfree
       In glibc, the function cfree() is a synonym for free(3), "added for compatibility with SunOS".

       Other systems have other functions with this name.  The declaration is sometimes in <stdlib.h> and sometimes in <malloc.h>.

   3-arg cfree
       Some SCO and Solaris versions have malloc libraries with a 3-argument cfree(), apparently as an analog to calloc(3).

       If you need it while porting something, add

	   #define cfree(p, n, s) free((p))

       to your file.

       A frequently asked question is "Can I use free(3) to free memory allocated with calloc(3), or do I need cfree()?"  Answer: use free(3).

       An  SCO	manual writes: "The cfree routine is provided for compliance to the iBCSe2 standard and simply calls free.  The num and size argu-
       ments to cfree are not used."

RETURN VALUE

       The SunOS version of cfree() (which is a synonym for free(3)) returns 1 on success and 0 on failure.  In case of error,	errno  is  set	to
       EINVAL: the value of ptr was not a pointer to a block previously allocated by one of the routines in the malloc(3) family.

CONFORMING TO

       The 3-argument version of cfree() as used by SCO conforms to the iBCSe2 standard: Intel386 Binary Compatibility Specification, Edition 2.
