fchownat.c   [plain text]


/* This function serves as replacement for a missing fchownat function,
   as well as a work around for the fchownat bug in glibc-2.4:
    <http://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2006-September/093218.html>
   when the buggy fchownat-with-AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW operates on a symlink, it
   mistakenly affects the symlink referent, rather than the symlink itself.

   Invoke chown or lchown on file, FILE, using OWNER and GROUP, in the
   directory open on descriptor FD.  If FLAG is AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW, then
   use lchown, otherwise, use chown.  If possible, do it without changing
   the working directory.  Otherwise, resort to using save_cwd/fchdir,
   then mkdir/restore_cwd.  If either the save_cwd or the restore_cwd
   fails, then give a diagnostic and exit nonzero.  */
