| Summary | 0001522: mkdir() and S_ISVTX | ||||
| Description | The mkdir() description states:When bits in mode other than the file permission bits are set, the meaning of these additional bits is implementation-defined.This is old POSIX.1-199x text from before the merge with SUS, after which the S_ISVTX bit has a specified meaning for directories (when the XSI option is supported), as per the <sys/stat.h> description of S_ISVTX: "On directories, restricted deletion flag". This needs to be accounted for in the mkdir() description. The umask() page also has a similar problem. | ||||
| Desired Action | On page 1316 line 43787 section mkdir(), change:The mkdir() function shall create a new directory with name path. The file permission bits of the new directory shall be initialized from mode. These file permission bits of the mode argument shall be modified by the process' file creation mask.to: The mkdir() function shall create a new directory with name path. The file permission bits [XSI]and S_ISVTX bit[/XSI]of the new directory shall be initialized from mode. The file permission bits of the mode argument shall be modified by the file creation mask of the process. On page 2189 line 70020 section umask(), change: Only the file permission bits of cmask (see <sys/stat.h>) are used; the meaning of the other bits is implementation-defined.to: Only the file permission bits of cmask (see <sys/stat.h>) shall be used; [XSI]the S_ISVTX bit shall be ignored, and[/XSI] the meaning of the other bits is implementation-defined. On page 2189 line 70028 section umask(), change: Bit positions that are set in cmask are cleared in the mode of the created file.to: Permission bit positions that are set in cmask are cleared in the mode of the created file. On page 2189 line 70030 section umask(), change: The file permission bits in the value returned by umask() shall be the previous value of the file mode creation mask. The state of any other bits in that value is unspecified, ...to: The file permission bits in the value returned by umask() shall be the previous value of the file mode creation mask. [XSI]The S_ISVTX bit in the returned value shall be clear.[/XSI] The state of any other bits in the returned value is unspecified, ... | ||||
