Looking over the recent changes in Linus' tree, I saw there was this
new file, include/linux/flat.h. Hmmm, uninformative name, what's this
file about? I look in the file and here is how it starts:
/* Copyright (C) 1998 Kenneth Albanowski <kjahds@kjahds.com>
* The Silver Hammer Group, Ltd.
* Copyright (C) 2002 David McCullough <davidm@snapgear.com>
*/
#ifndef _LINUX_FLAT_H
#define _LINUX_FLAT_H
#define FLAT_VERSION 0x00000004L
/*
* To make everything easier to port and manage cross platform
* development, all fields are in network byte order.
*/
struct flat_hdr {
char magic[4];
unsigned long rev; /* version (as above) */
etc.
*Completely* uninformative. How is anyone supposed to know what this
relates to? Is it something to do with a network device, or a
filesystem, or an executable format, or what?
[And no, don't reply to this telling me what it's about, add some
comments to the file instead.]
Paul.
