Message-ID: <7195f13865b12345b616627c0edf7651@plan9.bell-labs.com> (raw)

Error() in upas/fs.c just exits the process after printing a message.
I didn't use sysfatal() because I want to kill off the entire process
group on error and sysfatal doesn't.  If I'ld used the thread package
I wouldn't have needed to do it that way.

It is totally unrelated to the error() in the kernel nor
error() in 9660srv.  They implements an exception
stack so that they can cleanly back out of errors without
crashing.

The similarity in name implies nothing about similarity in
function.
