| Summary | 0000507: getcwd can fail for the same reasons as fork() | ||||||
| Description |
Since the standard mentions in non-normative text the use of a setuid helper program for implementing a getcwd() that can succeed even when in-process calls cannot, the standard should also permit getcwd() to fail with fork() errors, as is done with other interfaces that have historically spawned child helpers. |
||||||
| Desired Action |
After line 33452, add: Additionally, the getcwd( ) function may set errno values as described by fork( ). |

During the 5 Jan 2012 meeting, it was decided that the global statement in XSH 2.3 that other errors are permitted is already sufficient, and that nothing needed to be changed to specifically mention fork() failures that are possible in various implementations of functions such as getcwd(), grantpt(), and wordexp(). |
