No idea (I wasn't involved, in case you were wondering ;-)

The (2) is referencing the man page convention of putting the section of
the man page after the function you're talking about. I figured you guys
would get it (since the code in the background is some of the
implementation of the open syscall :
http://cvs.opensolaris.org/source/xref/on/usr/src/uts/common/syscall/open.c#59 )

I used the "open" syscall since it's part of our name, and a pretty
important system call in UNIX generally.


Maybe it's all a bit geeky, but I liked it. I guess the graphic will
only be there for a while - so if you feel like putting together a
better graphic (which admittedly, wouldn't be hard!) I'm sure the
website-discuss guys are still taking submissions.

	cheers,
