Why XXX_softc in BSD?
I'm reading autoconfiguration code in OpenBSD and see structs named XXX_softc which are based on struct device, but add more struct members. e.g. pcmcia_softc in
sys/dev/pcmcia/pcmciavar.h. Where does this name, "softc," come from? Is the c short for something? config? What's soft about it? |

Really?

Maybe freebsd's usenet group would be a good place for this? I thought of openbsd-misc, but figured they would find it annoying. All BSDs have these softc structs, and the freebsd groups seem fairly chatty. |

I would suggest to ask your question on the OpenBSD misc list.

Yes, I think misc is probably a better bet so I tried there.
