`posix_fallocate` ensures that a byte range in a file is allocated so
that subsequent writes don't fail. Unlike ftruncate, posix_fallocate
does not shrink files.
The Linux syscall fallocate is similar to posix_fallocate except with
far more control over how byte ranges are allocated (e.g. it supports
file holes and other features). This MR doesn't implement fallocate as
it requires syscall and redoxfs support.
Finally, I changed the flags for flock from usize to c_int. That matches
what we have in libc and also avoids some silly, needless type casting.
Like the other "at" functions, renameat renames files with respect with
a directory descriptor. "renameat2" is Linux specific but really nice -
it adds a flag which supports atomically swapping two files or failing
if the target already exists. The latter is easily supported in relibc.
The former requires redoxfs support.
Besides the impl itself, I refactored "cap_path_at" into what it really
is: a mini openat2-like function.
Capability based `fchmod`. I also implemented unit tests for chmod,
fchmod, and fchmodat.
The unit tests check Redox-specific behavior, so some of the tests are
disabled for Linux.
`fdopendir` takes ownership of a directory file descriptor instead of
opening one with a path. `fdclosedir` is a FreeBSD extension that
transfers ownership of the file descriptor in DIR to the user.
Linux's variant uses the syscall as intended. Redox's variant uses fpath
to build a path to pass to fstat from the file descriptor plus the file
name. Unlike the syscall, this isn't atomic so the liminal space between
fpath/getcwd and fstat is subject to TOCTOU.
Beyond fstatat, I moved the stat test to its correct location and added
an assert since the output of the test is unchecked.
I also added AT_FDCWD which seems to be -100 across Unixes. The other
AT_* constants are unimplemented for now.
The implementation for confstr is straightforward. Most of the constants
return 1 on both musl and glibc. The only constant that doesn't is
required for Fish.
I also switched an #[unsafe(no_mangle)] from my last patch back
to a #[no_mangle] because we need to bump cbindgen. #[unsafe(no_mangle)]
is required for Rust 2024.
* Fix PERROR to match musl/glibc better
* More unit tests + enabled on Linux
* Pack priority and facility into one i32 and check the bits with
bitflags
* Add LOG_UPTO (logic is straight from musl)
Not done:
* "%m" - this could just be added to printf
* LOG_CONS
