Michael Kerrisk a2610398b8 Remove some bugs, that no longer seen to be true in glibc 2.8. 2008-09-23 10:46:24 +02:00
George Spelvin 7134d7e62c Clarify closedir()'s treatment of underlying file descriptor.
At the end of the paragraph in opendir(3) describing fdopendir(), I
think it's worth adding "The file descriptor will be closed when
closedir() is called."  It's a bit ambiguous if the file descriptor
is closed or "given back" at closedir time.

(I've tested this and verified that it's true, BTW.)

Michael Kerrisk 6dea120e68 Fix 'dir' argument name: should be 'dirp'.
POSIX.1-2008 and glibc call this argument 'dirp' (consistent
with the fact that it is a *pointer* to a DIR structure).

Michael Kerrisk 3e7a52936d Fix 'dir' argument name: should be 'dirp'.
The page formerly used both 'dir' and 'dirp'(!).
POSIX.1-2008 and glibc call this argument 'dirp' (consistent
with the fact that it is a *pointer* to a DIR structure).

Michael Kerrisk 67f0f50d07 Describe getpid()'s PID caching and its consequences.
getpid() caches the PID after the first call.  This relies
on support in the glibc wrappers for fork()/vfork()/clone().
However, if syscall() is used to directly invoke fork()/vfork()/clone(),
the cache is not updated, and getpid() in the child procudes the wrong
result.
