| Summary | 0000817: O_SEARCH condition for *at() functions worded incorrectly | ||||
| Description | All of the *at() functions contain requirements related to whether a directory file descriptor passed to the function "was opened with O_SEARCH". This is not the right condition when duplication or inheritance of file descriptors is considered. For example, if an fd is opened with O_SEARCH and then duplicated with dup(), the new fd returned by dup() does not meet the letter of the condition even though it has O_SEARCH as the access mode. The associated EACCES errors are also affected (and in the case of link() and mkdir() the EACCES error is missing). | ||||

I agree with this as being clearer in intent, but I think where the new phrasing has "is not O_SEARCH", the phrase "does not include the O_SEARCH flag" better expresses that the file description may have other O_* flags set too. Similarly, "includes O_SEARCH" instead of "is O_SEARCH". Just bare is or is not implies it's the only flag allowed to be set when testing against underlying permissions. |

Re: 0000817:0002109, when a file descriptor is opened the access mode is set to O_EXEC, O_RDONLY, O_RDWR, O_SEARCH, or O_WRONLY. The other O_* macros that can be ORed into the oflag value passed to open() do not have any effect on the access mode (i.e. they have no bits in common with the O_ACCMODE mask). Therefore "the access mode is O_SEARCH" is the correct wording, and "the access mode includes O_SEARCH" does not make sense. |
