Subject: a name for mmscan
Date: Fri, 13 Mar 1998 10:31:38 +0100 (MET)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.3.91.980313102911.4396A-100000@mirkwood.dummy.home> (raw)

Hi,

As Ben didn't yet have a suitable name for mmscan, I
think we should go with the semi-standard of:
vmpager (or kpager, to follow the linux way)

This way, we can make a vmswapper (or kswapd) when
the swapping daemon is ready... ('cause we'll need
real swapping anyways).

vmpager seems to be somewhat of a standard in the
BSD world... (what's the Digital Unix one called?)

Rik.
