| Summary | 0000506: additional grantpt errors are possible | ||||
| Description | In several implementations, grantpt() is implemented by forking and execing a setuid helper application to make the requested changes on the slave side of the just-opened pseudo-terminal. Therefore, we probably ought to document additional possible errno values. | ||||
| Desired Action | Move line 36472 prior to 36470 (sort [EACCES] before [EBADF]). After line 36472, add the following: Additionally, the grantpt( ) function may set errno values as described by fork( ). | ||||

Isn't this covered by System Interfaces 2.3? "Implementations may support additional errors not included in this list, may generate errors included in this list under circumstances other than those described here, or may contain extensions or limitations that prevent some errors from occurring." |
|
|
The additional possible errors are already covered by XSH section 2.3 (Error Numbers), so no addition is needed. But the sort order of errors in the list should be fixed. Move line 36472 prior to 36470 (sort [EACCES] before [EBADF]). |
