[Pvfs2-developers] viewdist get-eattr endianness

[Murali Vilayannur]

Hi Sam,
Looks great.
2 Questions
- Should the check in sys-get-eattr.sm be if (ret != 0) instead of if (ret < 0)?
  If future callouts do not return a -PVFS_* then we could have a problem no?
- module.mk.in lists a void.c as a new file. It does not seem to be a
part of this patch? Is it a new file or an existing file?
Nice cleanups with this new callout framework!
thanks
Murali
