Subject: Heads-up: warn/err in libc

The putback of

PSARC 2006/662 Make err/warn part of Solaris's libc
6495220 add err() et al. to libc

adds the following functions into libc:
   err
   verr
   errx
   verrx
   warn
   vwarn
   warnx
   vwarnx

These functions are equivalents of their counterparts in BSD systems' libc.
Going forward, I'd like to encourage people to look at replacing private
code that implements similar functionality with calls to these library
functions (where possible).

Thanks,

v.
