Looking at this again, should the wording for <fcntl.h> on page 238 mention that the various flags that can be returned for F_GETFD and F_GETFL must have values that do not result in a negative integer? This would affect FD_CLOEXEC (line 8020), the status bits O_APPEND, O_DSYNC, O_NONBLOCK, O_RSYNC, O_SYNC (lines 8044-8050), and all of the components of O_ACCMODE (lines 8051-8064). |
