46 This system call is obsolete.
53 system call operates in exactly the same way as
55 except for the differences described in this manual page.
57 If the pathname given in
59 is relative, then it is interpreted relative to the directory
60 referred to by the file descriptor
62 (rather than relative to the current working directory of
63 the calling process, as is done by
65 for a relative pathname).
75 is interpreted relative to the current working
76 directory of the calling process (like
88 On error, \-1 is returned and
90 is set to indicate the error.

101 is not a valid file descriptor.
107 is a file descriptor referring to a file other than a directory.
110 was added to Linux in kernel 2.6.16;
111 library support was added to glibc in version 2.4.
113 This system call is nonstandard.
114 It was implemented from a specification that was proposed for POSIX.1,
115 but that specification was replaced by the one for
118 A similar system call exists on Solaris.
123 is NULL, then the glibc
125 wrapper function updates the times for the file referred to by
127 .\" The Solaris futimesat() also has this strangeness.
