| Summary | 0000307: O_CREAT with O_SEARCH | ||||
| Description | The standard doesn't say what happens if O_CREAT is used with O_SEARCH. The description of O_SEARCH does say "The result is unspecified if this flag is applied to a non-directory file" and this could, at a stretch, be interpreted as applying to an attempt to create a (non-directory) file with O_CREAT, but it would be better to mention O_CREAT explicitly. | ||||
| Desired Action | Change The result is unspecified if this flag is applied to a non-directory file. to The result is unspecified if this flag is applied to a non-directory file or is used with O_CREAT. Cross-volume change to XSH... Make the same change at page 1379 line 45187 section open. | ||||

Add the following text to the end of the first paragraph of RATIONALE at the end of P1385, L45427:
"Not all combinations of flags make sense. For example, using
O_SEARCH | O_CREAT will successfully open a pre-existing directory
for searching, but if there is no existing file by that name, then it is
unspecified whether a regular file will be created. Likewise, if a
non-directory file descriptor is successfully returned, it is unspecified
whether that descriptor will have execute permissions as if by O_EXEC
(note that it is unspecified whether O_EXEC and O_SEARCH have the
same value)."And then move the entire paragraph from RATIONALE to APPLICATION USAGE after P1385, L45424. |
