244 The getcwd function performs nearly the same task, but is typically
245 unable to handle names longer than PATH_MAX. This function has
246 no such limitation. However, this function *can* fail due to
247 permission problems or a lack of memory, while GNU/Linux's getcwd
248 function works regardless of restricted permissions on parent
249 directories. Upon failure, give a diagnostic and exit nonzero.
251 Note: although this function is similar to getcwd, it has a fundamental
252 difference in that it gives a diagnostic and exits upon failure.
253 I would have liked a function that did not exit, and that could be
254 used as a getcwd replacement. Unfortunately, considering all of
255 the information the caller would require in order to produce good
256 diagnostics, it doesn't seem worth the added complexity.
257 In any case, any getcwd replacement must *not* exceed the PATH_MAX
258 limitation. Otherwise, functions like 'chdir' would fail with
259 ENAMETOOLONG.
261 FIXME-maybe: if find_dir_entry fails due to permissions, try getcwd,
262 in case the unreadable directory is close enough to the root that
263 getcwd works from there. */
