| Summary | 0000278: *at() function ENOTDIR for file descriptor | ||||
| Description | The way this error condition is described:
[ENOTDIR] The path argument is not an absolute path and fd is
neither AT_FDCWD nor a file descriptor associated with a
directory.
means that it overlaps with EBADF for some cases. I think that when fd is not an open file descriptor (and not AT_FDCWD) the standard should require EBADF. To avoid this overlap, the ENOTDIR error should be reworded as:
[ENOTDIR] The path argument is not an absolute path and fd is
a file descriptor associated with a non-directory file.
This still allows either error for the case where the fd is open O_WRONLY or O_RDWR to a non-directory file (and I think it should). Also, I can see no reason why these ENOTDIR errors are "may fail". The proposed changes move them to "shall fail". | ||||
