Summary: description of O_EXEC+O_SEARCH not updated after
defect 658
Description:
Defect 658 specified the legal behaviors of open(O_EXEC) on directory and
open(O_SEARCH) on a non-directory, but the fcntl.h description wasn't
updated to match.
O_EXEC Open for execute only (non-directory
Since the permitted behaviors of open/openat are specified in their
specific pages, I think we should just delete the second sentence ("The

unspecified if this flag is applied to a directory.

Desired Action:

specific pages, I think we should just delete the second sentence ("The
result is unspecified...") from each item.
