In rereading this patch, I suggest changing the example to use a FIFO
rather than a directory, since directories never yield fts_info ==
FTS_NSOK. I installed the attached patch into Gnulib and you can use
this in glibc too. Sorry about the confusion.From d8e2a2e266b9af73ccaf03c4bc9a039c342d4d98 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

Subject: [PATCH] doc: doc FTS_NOSTAT with FIFO, not directory
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8

* lib/fts.in.h (FTS_NOSTAT): Use a FIFO, not a directory,
in the commentary’s example. This is a better example
because directories never have FTS_NSOK.
