[PATCH v2 1/2] tools/nolibc: Add dirfd()
From: Daniel Palmer
Date: Wed Oct 07 2026 - 01:30:14 EST
This is useful for things like fstatat() on children of a directory
opened with opendir().
At the same time use the new internal helper to replace the two places
that are converting the DIR pointer back into an fd.
