Hi, This has been brought up before. "iff" not a typo, but a fairly common way of writing "if and only if". Cheers, Harald van Dijk -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe dash" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

Larry, care to resend your patch with a clarified commit message and expanding "iff" to "if and only if" instead of contracting it to "if"?

Funny, I did wonder if it might be a contraction, but I did find it odd that it's not mentioned or explained. I'll leave it be, if you all are happy enough to keep it 'as is', or can resubmit if you think it's warranted. Sorry about the noise. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe dash" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
