- Fix for possible unset uid/gid in toproto
- Fix for default mtree style
- Update libelf
- Importing libexecinfo
- Resynchronize GCC, mpc, gmp, mpfr
- build.sh: Replace params with show-params.
This has been done as the make target has been renamed in the same
way, while a new target named params has been added. This new
target generates a file containing all the parameters, instead of
printing it on the console.
- Update test48 with new etc/services (Fix by Ben Gras <ben@minix3.org)
get getservbyport() out of the inner loop

.Ft int
|

.Fn mkfifoat "int fd" "const char *path" "mode_t mode"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Fn mkfifo
|
|
creates a new fifo file with name
|
|
.Fa path .
|
|
The access permissions are
|
|
specified by
|
|
.Fa mode
|
|
and restricted by the
|
|
.Xr umask 2
|
|
of the calling process.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn mkfifoat
|
|
works the same way as
|
|
.Fn mkfifo
|
|
except if
|
|
.Fa path
|
|
is relative.
|
|
In that case, it is looked up from a directory whose file
|
|
descriptor was passed as
|
|
.Fa fd .
|
|
Search permission is required on this directory.
|
|
.\" (These alternatives await a decision about the semantics of O_SEARCH)
|
|
.\" Search permission is required on this directory
|
|
.\" except if
|
|
.\" .Fa fd
|
|
.\" was opened with the
|
|
.\" .Dv O_SEARCH
|
|
.\" flag.
|
|
.\" - or -
|
|
.\" This file descriptor must have been opened with the
|
|
.\" .Dv O_SEARCH
|
|
.\" flag.
|
|
.Fa fd
|
|
can be set to
|
|
.Dv AT_FDCWD
|
|
in order to specify the current directory.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The fifo's owner ID is set to the process's effective user ID.
|
|
The fifo's group ID is set to that of the parent directory in
|
|
which it is created.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
.Rv -std mkfifo mkfifoat
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
.Fn mkfifo
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn mkfifoat
|
|
will fail and no fifo will be created if:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Er
|
|
.It Bq Er EACCES
|
|
Search permission is denied for a component of the path prefix.
|
|
.It Bq Er EDQUOT
|
|
The directory in which the entry for the new fifo
|
|
is being placed cannot be extended because the
|
|
user's quota of disk blocks on the file system
|
|
containing the directory has been exhausted.
|
|
Or, the user's quota of inodes on the file system on
|
|
which the fifo is being created has been exhausted.
|
|
.It Bq Er EEXIST
|
|
The named file exists.
|
|
.It Bq Er EFAULT
|
|
.Fa path
|
|
points outside the process's allocated address space.
|
|
.It Bq Er EIO
|
|
An
|
|
.Tn I/O
|
|
error occurred while making the directory entry or allocating the inode.
|
|
Or, an
|
|
.Tn I/O
|
|
error occurred while reading from or writing to the file system.
|
|
.It Bq Er ELOOP
|
|
Too many symbolic links were encountered in translating the pathname.
|
|
.It Bq Er ENAMETOOLONG
|
|
A component of a pathname exceeded
|
|
.Brq Dv NAME_MAX
|
|
characters, or an entire path name exceeded
|
|
.Brq Dv PATH_MAX
|
|
characters.
|
|
.It Bq Er ENOENT
|
|
A component of the path prefix does not exist.
|
|
.It Bq Er ENOSPC
|
|
The directory in which the entry for the new fifo is being placed
|
|
cannot be extended because there is no space left on the file
|
|
system containing the directory.
|
|
Or, there are no free inodes on the file system on which the
|
|
fifo is being created.
|
|
.It Bq Er ENOTDIR
|
|
A component of the path prefix is not a directory.
|
|
.It Bq Er EOPNOTSUPP
|
|
The kernel has not been configured to support fifo's.
|
|
.It Bq Er EROFS
|
|
The named file resides on a read-only file system.

.Pp
|
|
In addition,
|
|
.Fn mkfifoat
|
|
will fail if:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Er
|
|
.It Bq Er EBADF
|
|
.Fa path
|
|
does not specify an absolute path and
|
|
.Fa fd
|
|
is neither
|
|
.Dv AT_FDCWD
|
|
nor a valid file descriptor open for reading or searching.
|
|
.It Bq Er ENOTDIR
|
|
.Fa path
|
|
is not an absolute path and
|
|
.Fa fd
|
|
is a file descriptor associated with a non-directory file.
