[PATCH v3 0/3] nolibc: Add dirfd()
From: Daniel Palmer
Date: Sat Oct 31 2026 - 00:30:24 EST
Add dirfd() to convert a DIR back to an fd for functions like fstatat()
that take an fd.
Change log:
v3 - Split the internal helper into its own commit.
- test: just stat one child instead of all of them
- According to POSIX (https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/dirfd.3.html) errno
should be EINVAL on failure, so closedir() is now untouched as it is setting EBADF.
This makes the diff a little cleaner too.
- Replace i with fd in some places so isn't confused with -1.
- Due to all of the changes I didn't add trailers from v2.
v2 - Fix the name of the dirfd helper, I debated over removing the helper
as suggested by Thomas but it seems right to have the logic in a single
place.
Add test a basic test to make sure dirfd() actually does convert back
to the expected fd and using dirfd() with fstatat().
