But Emacs doesn't care what the current working directory is; it always uses absolute file names. This module replaces the Gnulib module by omitting the code that Emacs does not need. */ #include #include "save-cwd.h" #include #include /* Record the location of the current working directory in CWD so that the program may change to other directories and later use restore_cwd to return to the recorded location. This function may allocate space using malloc (via getcwd) or leave a file descriptor open; use free_cwd to perform the necessary free or close. Upon failure, no memory is allocated, any locally opened file descriptors are closed; return non-zero -- in that case, free_cwd need not be called, but doing so is ok. Otherwise, return zero. The _raison d'etre_ for this interface is that the working directory is sometimes inaccessible, and getcwd is not robust or as efficient. So, we prefer to use the open/fchdir approach, but fall back on getcwd if necessary. This module works for most cases with just the getcwd-lgpl module, but to be truly robust, use the getcwd module. Some systems lack fchdir altogether: e.g., OS/2, pre-2001 Cygwin, SCO Xenix. Also, SunOS 4 and Irix 5.3 provide the function, yet it doesn't work for partitions on which auditing is enabled. If you're still using an obsolete system with these problems, please send email to the maintainer of this code. */ #if !defined HAVE_FCHDIR && !defined fchdir # define fchdir(fd) (-1) #endif int save_cwd (struct saved_cwd *cwd) { cwd->desc = open (".", O_SEARCH | O_CLOEXEC); /* The 'name' member is present only to minimize differences from gnulib.
