This function may allocate space using malloc (via xgetcwd) or leave a file descriptor open; use free_cwd to perform the necessary free or close. Upon failure, no memory is allocated, any locally opened file descriptors are closed; return non-zero -- in that case, free_cwd need not be called, but doing so is ok. Otherwise, return zero. The `raison d'etre' for this interface is that some systems lack support for fchdir, and getcwd is not robust or as efficient. So, we prefer to use the open/fchdir approach, but fall back on getcwd if necessary. Some systems lack fchdir altogether: OS/2, Cygwin (as of March 2003), SCO Xenix. At least SunOS 4 and Irix 5.3 provide the function, yet it doesn't work for partitions on which auditing is enabled. */ int save_cwd (struct saved_cwd *cwd) { static bool have_working_fchdir = true; cwd->desc = -1; cwd->name = NULL; if (have_working_fchdir) { #if HAVE_FCHDIR cwd->desc = open (".", O_RDONLY | O_DIRECTORY); if (cwd->desc < 0) cwd->desc = open (".", O_WRONLY | O_DIRECTORY); if (cwd->desc < 0) { cwd->name = xgetcwd (); return cwd->name ? 0 : -1; } # if __sun__ || sun /* On SunOS 4 and IRIX 5.3, fchdir returns EINVAL when auditing is enabled, so we have to fall back to chdir. */ if (fchdir (cwd->desc)) { if (errno == EINVAL) { close (cwd->desc); cwd->desc = -1; have_working_fchdir = false; } else { int saved_errno = errno; close (cwd->desc); cwd->desc = -1; errno = saved_errno; return -1; } } # endif /* __sun__ || sun */ #else # define fchdir(x) (abort (), 0) have_working_fchdir = false; #endif } if (!have_working_fchdir) { cwd->name = xgetcwd (); if (cwd->name == NULL) return -1; } return 0; } /* Change to recorded location, CWD, in directory hierarchy.
