Subject: [9fans] clarification on man 9p
Date: Sat,  3 Oct 2009 04:29:39 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1d5d51400910021329of1eeae4la53a25ed2940919b@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi

in man 9p

"In general, the File interface is appropriate for maintaining
arbitrary file trees (as in ramfs). The File interface is best avoided
when the tree structure is easily generated as necessary; this is true
when the tree is highly structured (as in cdfs and nntpfs) or is
maintained elsewhere."

Is this referring to avoiding the usage of createfile and friends in
9pfile.h for highly structured trees?

regards
fernan
