| Summary | 0000324: Clarify that ENOTDIR is for existing non-directory files | ||||||
| Description |
Most system interfaces that take one or more paths as arguments document the following error (the wording may vary slightly): [ENOTDIR] A component of the path prefix is not a directory It is unclear whether this condition includes the case where a component of the path prefix does not exist, e.g., whether open("missing/foo", O_CREAT, 0600) is allowed to fail with ENOTDIR. The general description of ENOTDIR (line 16420) suggests that the case is excluded: [ENOTDIR] Not a directory. A component of the specified pathname exists, but it is not a directory, when a directory was expected. It would be good to clarify this every place the error is documented. |
||||||
| Desired Action |
Replace every occurrence of the following documented error for a system interface: [ENOTDIR] A component of the path prefix is not a directory or minor variations, such as "either path prefix", with the appropriate variation of: [ENOTDIR] A component of the path prefix exists, but it is not a directory |

We believe that this is an editorial issue clarifying what was always the intent of the standard. Therefore, we do not believe an interpretation is required. Change:
"A component of the path prefix is not a direcory"
in all of the cases listed in Note: 0000572 to:
"A component of the path prefix names an existing file that is neither a directory
nor a symbolic link to a directory".
with minor variations where the interface uses multiple path arguments.
