Summary 0000598: OH shading and new interfaces
Description 0000411 proposed several new interfaces that use constants not currently provided by the header that the interface is declared in. These new interfaces either need to use OH shading (see 0000591) or the headers for these interfaces need alteration to become self-contained (see 0000593).

The desired action takes the approach of using OH shading. This was done in part to avoid conflicts with 0000593; even though the solution for that bug proposes exposing several O_* constants under XSI shading, mkostemp was proposed for CX shading and needs even more constants.

An alternative action would be to make <stdlib.h> self-contained under CX shading rather than just XSI, and to make <unistd.h> self-contained and permitted to leak symbols from <fcntl.h>. Taken to an extreme, this solution would also suggest making AT_FDCWD and friends exposed in all headers that use the *at interfaces, and getting rid of OH shading altogether in Issue 8 (basically, undoing the TC2 changes of 0000591 by instead making all headers self-contained). As this change would be more invasive, I did not attempt to enumerate the changes required, unless the group feels this is a better direction to head for Issue 8.
Desired Action Drop these changes from 0000411:

After line 24867 [XSH dup SYNOPSIS], add a line:
int dup3(int fildes, int fildes2, int flag);

After line 42416 [XSH mkdtemp SYNOPSIS], add a line:
int mkostemp (char *template, int flag);



and replace them with these changes instead:

After line 24867 [XSH dup SYNOPSIS], add two lines, shaded as follows:
<OH>#include <fcntl.h></OH>
int dup3(int fildes, int fildes2, int flag);

After line 42417 [XSH mkdtemp SYNOPSIS], add two lines, shaded as follows:
<OH>#include <fcntl.h></OH>
<CX>int mkostemp (char *template, int flag);</CX>

On 2016 edition page 441 line 15099 section <unistd.h>, add:
The <unistd.h> header shall define the symbolic constants O_CLOEXEC and O_CLOFORK as described in <fcntl.h>.

On 2016 edition page 449 line 15466 section <unistd.h>, change:
Inclusion of the <unistd.h> header may make visible all symbols from the headers <stddef.h>, ...
to:
Inclusion of the <unistd.h> header may make visible all symbols from the headers <fcntl.h>, <stddef.h>, ...
