fdopendir (GNU Gnulib)

Gnulib module: fdopendir

Portability problems fixed by Gnulib:

This function is missing on some platforms: glibc 2.3.6, Mac OS X 10.5, FreeBSD 6.0, NetBSD 5.0, OpenBSD 3.8, Minix 3.1.8, AIX 5.1, HP-UX 11, Cygwin 1.5.x, mingw, MSVC 14. But the replacement function is not safe to be used in libraries and is not multithread-safe. Also, the replacement does not guarantee that ‘dirfd(fdopendir(n))==n’ (dirfd might fail, or return a different file descriptor than n).
This function exists but is not declared on some platforms: FreeBSD 7.3.
This function does not reject non-directory file descriptors on some platforms: GNU/Hurd.
This function mistakenly closes non-directory file descriptors on some platforms: FreeBSD 8.1.
