| |
Hi,
recently, the family of *at() syscalls and functions (openat, fstatat, etc.) have been added to Linux and Glibc, respectively. In short: I am missing xattr at functions :)
BTW, why is fstatat called fstatat and not statat? (Same goes for futimesat.) It does not take a file descriptor for the file argument. Otherwise we'd also need fopenat/funlinkat, etc. Any reasons?
