It's an odd compiler thing, where initializers and destructors are in 'init' and 'fini' segments respectively. It makes absolutely no sense in any other context, and the fact that it has bled into kernel usage is not a good thing imnsho. Honestly, "exit" is the normal prefix/postfix, and is actually a real word. As is "destroy", used elsewhere. So I'm not going to NAK 'fini', but it's a completely stupid and pointless thing to use and there are better character sequences that aren't any more typing and are real words. Linus
