| Summary | 0000371: Further changes needed to match the OPEN_MAX change | ||||
| Description | In the revision the description of OPEN_MAX was changed from: Maximum number of files that one process can have open at any one time. to: A value one greater than the maximum value that the system may assign to a newly-created file descriptor. There are two other places that need to change to match this. One is the description of _POSIX_OPEN_MAX, the other is the definition of the term "file descriptor". | ||||
| Desired Action | At page 275 line 9066 section limits.h change: Maximum number of files that one process can have open at any one time. to: A value one greater than the maximum value that the system may assign to a newly-created file descriptor. At page 60 line 1763 section 3.166 change: The value of a file descriptor is from zero to {OPEN_MAX}. A process can have no more than {OPEN_MAX} file descriptors open simultaneously. to: The value of a newly-created file descriptor is from zero to {OPEN_MAX}-1. A file descriptor can have a value greater than or equal to {OPEN_MAX} if the value of {OPEN_MAX} has decreased (see [xref to sysconf{}]) since the file descriptor was opened. | ||||
