rtf_open_sized blocks

[Alexander Fedtke]

Btw: rtai-3.1/rtai-testsuite/user/preempt/preempt.c shows the use of
rtf_create() in user/lxrt space! Is this correct?? According the
documentation this must be used in kernel space only...

Why is there a call for rtf_create() AND open() ??

rtf_create(FIFO, 1000);
if ((fifo = open(rtf_getfifobyminor(0,nm,sizeof(nm)), O_RDWR)) < 0) {
   printf("ERROR OPENING FIFO %s\n",nm);
   exit(1);
}
