извлечь дескриптор файла, используемый потоком DIR (extract the file descriptor used by a DIR stream)
Пролог (Prolog)
This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. The
Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult the
corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior),
or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.
Имя (Name)
dirfd — extract the file descriptor used by a DIR stream
Синопсис (Synopsis)
#include <dirent.h>
int dirfd(DIR *dirp);
Описание (Description)
The dirfd() function shall return a file descriptor referring to
the same directory as the dirp argument. This file descriptor
shall be closed by a call to closedir(). If any attempt is made
to close the file descriptor, or to modify the state of the
associated description, other than by means of closedir(),
readdir(), readdir_r(), rewinddir(), or seekdir(), the behavior
is undefined.
Возвращаемое значение (Return value)
Upon successful completion, the dirfd() function shall return an
integer which contains a file descriptor for the stream pointed
to by dirp. Otherwise, it shall return -1 and shall set errno to
indicate the error.
Ошибки (Error)
The dirfd() function may fail if:
EINVAL The dirp argument does not refer to a valid directory
stream.
The following sections are informative.
Примеры (Examples)
None.
Использование в приложениях (Application usage)
The dirfd() function is intended to be a mechanism by which an
application may obtain a file descriptor to use for the fchdir()
function.
Обоснование (Rationale)
This interface was introduced because the Base Definitions volume
of POSIX.1‐2017 does not make public the DIR data structure.
Applications tend to use the fchdir() function on the file
descriptor returned by this interface, and this has proven useful
for security reasons; in particular, it is a better technique
than others where directory names might change.
The description uses the term ``a file descriptor'' rather than
``the file descriptor''. The implication intended is that an
implementation that does not use an fd for opendir() could still
open() the directory to implement the dirfd() function. Such a
descriptor must be closed later during a call to closedir().
If it is necessary to allocate an fd to be returned by dirfd(),
it should be done at the time of a call to opendir().
Будущие направления (Future directions)
None.
