These are interfaces that are async-signal-safe in FreeBSD, are not currently required to be so by POSIX, but are expected to = be so in the future. That said, I am not sure why closefrom is in that list and not 'Extension Interfaces' as POSIX does not specify closefrom. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.=
