            Hello everyone,
            As @Vaibhav Gupta <mailto:vaibhav.varo...@gmail.com>
            suggested I have also added adding file descriptor
            functions to my GSOC project.
            I went through the mailing list archives for more information.
            RTEMS as its own file descriptor so the functions need to
            be implemented from scratch.
            I wanted to get more information related to it.


        What's the set of functions you are proposing for those not
        tracking your draft proposal?

    I haven't searched about the functions in the list yet. The list
    was made by Vaibhav, last year and he told me that it could be
    added to proposal this year as well.
    I read the archives that these need to be written from scratch.



Maybe not. I found at least this implementation of renameat() which was implemented on top of existing calls:

https://github.com/lattera/freebsd/blob/master/contrib/openbsm/bin/auditdistd/renameat.h

It should be in a C file but that shows it can be done. That directory has a lot of these methods.

Adding the *at() functions with an RTEMS-specific implementation would be nice (and not difficult). The generic renameat() implementation for example changes the current directory. One of the goals of this API is to avoid exactly this. In glibc/Linux for example a system call is used:

https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=blob;f=sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/renameat.c;h=901d61f37e10d0c2df245c01bb2ef980d00e8f52;hb=HEAD
