Defect report from : William Toth , IBM Austin, UNIX Development
(Please direct followup comments direct to yyyyyyyyyyyyyy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx)
@ page 1404 line 28194 section posix_fallocate comment {WLT-XSH-1}
Problem:
Edition of Specification (Year): 2003
Defect code : 2. Omission
The UNIX03 TC1 spec provides no way for a conforming application to determine
if a file descriptor provided to posix_fallocate() is usable or not. It is
expected that use of posix_fallocate() will be restricted to files opened on
specific filesystems. None of the specified errnos can be used to determine if
posix_fallocate() failed because the file has been opened on a filesystem that
does not support it. Neither is there a constant that be passed to fpathconf()
to determine support.
Action:
Add ENOTSUP to the list of allowable errnos
or
add a constant like _POSIX_FALLOCATE_FILES for fpathconf()
