Have you ever get stuck somewhere at some problems thoughout your entire
learning journey? What do you do when you get stuck? I agree with you
that the ideal is to produce the answer internally. But if you don't
know and you don't ask, its worse...

to phase my original thread on another way... I was just asking "how to
pass a user program defined structure into the system call, such that
the user program defined structure has the same name of a built in
structure?" Its in parallel form to things like "how to use pointer?"
Or "how to create an array and use them?" Did you think about doing all
these on your own without any help from anyone or textbk? you are born
with these? NO... you learnt through 'asking' textbook... through
someone, some sites, somewhere.... through examples...

you read books when you are schooling? books gives you an idea that is
somewhat related to the answer... btw, learning is _internal_ changes
caused partly by *external* changes...
