For Terracotta, a year of open source has been good for business

Thu, 03 Jan 2008 21:02:00 GMT
Terracotta makes a Java clustering solution that it calls "drop-in" technology. Terracotta is unique, says Ari Zilka, founder and chief technology officer, because it makes a way to offload temporary but important information that has traditionally been stored in expensive databases. In an effort to increase interest in the product, about a year ago Terracotta decided to open its source code and start giving the product away. According to Zilka, since Terracotta's entrance into the community, "we've seen only goodness."

NAME
explain_open_or_die - open file and report errors SYNOPSIS
#include <fcntl.h> #include <libexplain/open.h> int explain_open_or_die(const char *pathname, int flags, int mode); DESCRIPTION
Given a pathname for a file, open() returns a file descriptor, a small, non-negative integer for use in subsequent system calls (read(2), write(2), lseek(2), fcntl(2), etc.). The file descriptor returned by a successful call will be the lowest-numbered file descriptor not currently open for the process. See open(2) for more information. RETURN VALUE
On success, the new file descriptor is returned. On error, a description of the error is obtained via explain_open(3), and printed on stderr. The process is the terminated via a call to the exit(EXIT_FAILURE) function. COPYRIGHT
