Also, I have a question about the examples under l4/pkg/dm_phys/examples. Take list_ds. There is a call to "if_l4dm_generic_list_call". Where is this call defined? It's not clearly locatable in the API? Is this an IDL thing? I'm not too familiar with IDL.
It indeed is generated from IDL. The function name is generated from the IDL library (module) name(s), the interface name, the method name, and a suffix to distinguish different functions generated for the same IDL method. 'if_l4dm' is the library name; 'generic' the interface name; 'list' the method name; and 'call' suggests it is a client side call function stub to call the server.
HTH, Ron.
