131 arbitrarily deep trees -- we need a function like eaccessat, i.e.,
132 like Solaris' eaccess, but fd-relative, in the spirit of openat. */
134 /* In the absence of a native eaccessat function, here are some of
135 the implementation choices [#4 and #5 were suggested by Paul Eggert]:
136 1) call openat with O_WRONLY|O_NOCTTY
137 Disadvantage: may create the file and doesn't work for directory,
138 may mistakenly report `unwritable' for EROFS or ACLs even though
139 perm bits say the file is writable.
141 2) fake eaccessat (save_cwd, fchdir, call euidaccess, restore_cwd)
142 Disadvantage: changes working directory (not reentrant) and can't
143 work if save_cwd fails.
145 3) if (euidaccess (full_name, W_OK) == 0)
146 Disadvantage: doesn't work if full_name is too long.
147 Inefficient for very deep trees (O(Depth^2)).
149 4) If the full pathname is sufficiently short (say, less than
150 PATH_MAX or 8192 bytes, whichever is shorter):
151 use method (3) (i.e., euidaccess (full_name, W_OK));
152 Otherwise: vfork, fchdir in the child, run euidaccess in the
153 child, then the child exits with a status that tells the parent
154 whether euidaccess succeeded.
156 This avoids the O(N**2) algorithm of method (3), and it also avoids
157 the failure-due-to-too-long-file-names of method (3), but it's fast
158 in the normal shallow case. It also avoids the lack-of-reentrancy
159 and the save_cwd problems.
160 Disadvantage; it uses a process slot for very-long file names,
161 and would be very slow for hierarchies with many such files.
163 5) If the full file name is sufficiently short (say, less than
164 PATH_MAX or 8192 bytes, whichever is shorter):
165 use method (3) (i.e., euidaccess (full_name, W_OK));
166 Otherwise: look just at the file bits. Perhaps issue a warning
167 the first time this occurs.
169 This is like (4), except for the "Otherwise" case where it isn't as
170 "perfect" as (4) but is considerably faster. It conforms to current
171 POSIX, and is uniformly better than what Solaris and FreeBSD do (they
172 mess up with long file names). */
