Subject: [9fans] 9p2010
Date: Thu, 23 Apr 2009 12:26:09 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <e6be4507c9b383e1b20cb8d26f3d03ad@quanstro.net> (raw)

it occurred to me yesterday morning that the problem with
a bundle of 9p requests is that 9p then no longer maps directly
to system calls.

with 9p2000, if you want to do a Tread, it's pretty clear that
one needs to read(2); traditiona syscalls map directly to 9p.

not so when bundles/sequences are introduced.  how does a
user program generate an arbitrary bundle?  can programs
use bundles at all without being rewritten?
