111 arbitrarily deep trees -- we need a function like eaccessat, i.e.,
112 like Solaris' eaccess, but fd-relative, in the spirit of openat. */
114 /* In the absence of a native eaccessat function, here are some of
115 the implementation choices [#4 and #5 were suggested by Paul Eggert]:
116 1) call openat with O_WRONLY|O_NOCTTY
117 Disadvantage: may create the file and doesn't work for directory,
118 may mistakenly report 'unwritable' for EROFS or ACLs even though
119 perm bits say the file is writable.
121 2) fake eaccessat (save_cwd, fchdir, call euidaccess, restore_cwd)
122 Disadvantage: changes working directory (not reentrant) and can't
123 work if save_cwd fails.
125 3) if (euidaccess (full_name, W_OK) == 0)
126 Disadvantage: doesn't work if full_name is too long.
127 Inefficient for very deep trees (O(Depth^2)).
129 4) If the full pathname is sufficiently short (say, less than
130 PATH_MAX or 8192 bytes, whichever is shorter):
131 use method (3) (i.e., euidaccess (full_name, W_OK));
132 Otherwise: vfork, fchdir in the child, run euidaccess in the
133 child, then the child exits with a status that tells the parent
134 whether euidaccess succeeded.
136 This avoids the O(N**2) algorithm of method (3), and it also avoids
137 the failure-due-to-too-long-file-names of method (3), but it's fast
138 in the normal shallow case. It also avoids the lack-of-reentrancy
139 and the save_cwd problems.
140 Disadvantage; it uses a process slot for very-long file names,
141 and would be very slow for hierarchies with many such files.
143 5) If the full file name is sufficiently short (say, less than
144 PATH_MAX or 8192 bytes, whichever is shorter):
145 use method (3) (i.e., euidaccess (full_name, W_OK));
146 Otherwise: look just at the file bits. Perhaps issue a warning
147 the first time this occurs.
149 This is like (4), except for the "Otherwise" case where it isn't as
150 "perfect" as (4) but is considerably faster. It conforms to current
151 POSIX, and is uniformly better than what Solaris and FreeBSD do (they
