---------------------------------------------------------------------- (0007354) msbrown (manager) - 2026-01-08 16:47 https://www.austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1960#c7354 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This issue was discussed in the Jan 8, 2026 teleconference and the consensus was that this is a valid way to resolve the noted potential race condition; however we are unclear that there is enough existing practice to validate adding this change to the standard at the current time. The attendees also recommended that a better name than "CLOBOTH" be used, as it implies only two conditions when there may be more in the future. Perhaps "CLOCOMPLETE" would work. Another approach might be to add "F_DUPFD_SETFLAGS" which takes as a fourth argument a bitmask of FD_xxx flags to set.
