7 Gnulib module: faccessat
9 Portability problems fixed by Gnulib:
12 This function is missing on some platforms:
13 glibc 2.3.6, MacOS X 10.3, FreeBSD 6.0, NetBSD 3.0, OpenBSD 3.8, AIX
14 5.1, HP-UX 11, IRIX 6.5, OSF/1 5.1, Solaris 10, Cygwin 1.5.x, mingw,
16 However, the replacement does not always take into account ACLs. Also,
17 it is not safe to be used in libraries and is not multithread-safe.
20 Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:
23 There is an inherent race between calling this function and performing
24 some action based on the results; you should think twice before
25 trusting this function in a set-uid or set-gid program.
