When we spoke about this, afai can remember, you said that the ones that
block are of higher priority, which implies others should also be tested
ultimately, so I went ahead and made tests of all of those that I knew
about at the time. Are you saying functions that return EINTR but do not
block aren't even part of the task?
Ok, can you please tell me which of the functions I've linked on IRC I
should test then? I can find out which one of those block, but I don't
know about syscalls. Can you tell me how I could discern betwen them?
Thanks.
Luka
