/* The type size_t holds all results of the sizeof operator. At first glance,
* it seems obvious that it should be an unsigned int, but this is not always
* the case. For example, MINIX-ST (68000) has 32-bit pointers and 16-bit
* integers. When one asks for the size of a 70K struct or array, the result
* requires 17 bits to express, so size_t must be a long type. The type
* ssize_t is the signed version of size_t.

* sufficient to just use int instead of dev_t in the prototypes, but Dev_t
