I figure using the API will be faster and more robust in the presence of errors.

Execv() of kextload is not likely to be appreciably faster than calling an SPI directly--most of the time is I/O time scanning and patching/linking the kext bundle, last I checked. And since it's not a public API, I can't think of any reason for the latter… That said, reading the source for kextload, kextstat, etc. can be very informative. Doing so is what convinced me I should just call out to them :-). --Amanda _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
