pjd 2007-01-07 17:32:16 UTC FreeBSD src repository Modified files: lib/libc/sys open.2 Log: Prefer "to be modified" over "to be opened for writing". This is quite tricky situation, because we allow to open a file with O_RDONLY|O_TRUNC. O_TRUNC modifies a file, but we actually don't open it for writing. EISDIR is also returned when we try to open a directory O_RDONLY|O_TRUNC, which is correct. POSIX says that "The result of using O_TRUNC with O_RDONLY is undefined.", we choose to accept it (Solaris did the same), that's why "to be modified" seems more accurate to me. Revision Changes Path 1.34 +1 -1 src/lib/libc/sys/open.2
