Package: libbsd0
Version: 0.11.5-1+b1

closefrom() is documented to be async-signal-safe on FreeBSD:
https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?sigaction
I'd like it to be async-signal-safe in libbsd too.

The current implementation uses opendir()/readdir()/closedir() and reallocarray()/close(), which are not async-signal-safe.

https://www.sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2018-09/msg00270.html hints that you can use poll() to query for open fds. That should be efficient, portable and async-signal-safe.
