Actually, the next version of POSIX _will_ require dirfd to work, so we may have to go with wrapping rpl_opendir anyways: http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=391 But you are correct that older systems do not meet the future POSIX wording, so if your hack works, it's certainly simpler for the short term. -- Eric Blake ebl...@redhat.com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
