https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=770385 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=770385#c0 Summary: Missing documentation on O_PATH Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 12.2 Version: Factory Platform: All OS/Version: openSUSE 12.2 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Documentation AssignedTo: pgajdos@suse.com ReportedBy: werner@suse.com QAContact: ke@suse.com CC: aj@suse.com Found By: Development Blocker: --- during a discussion on the developers mailing list of the ksh about a missing feature of the linux kernel, Linus Torvalds had explained that the kernel has the flag O_PATH which provides a similar feature than the POSIX flag O_SEARCH. I've found that the manual page open(2) does not show the flag O_PATH but includes a remark in the comments: .\" .\" FIXME . Apr 08: The next POSIX revision has O_EXEC, O_SEARCH, and .\" O_TTYINIT. Eventually these may need to be documented. --mtk .\" FIXME Linux 2.6.33 has O_DSYNC, and a hidden __O_SYNC. .\" FIXME: Linux 2.6.39 added O_PATH .\" ... IMHO there is missed an entry in the DESCRIPTION section of open(2) and/or fcntl(2) manual page(s). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
