Hi Richard,

Are the old names being removed from glibc ?
Currently I am using glibc 2.11 and they are present.

Actually the name choice was intentional, because
they are used as argument to a function asking whether
read, write etc is allowed to the current user, leaving
to the function to identify whether this user is owner
of file, member of group, or other.

So using the names for owner's permissions is deceptive.
I could use R_OK, W_OK etc, but in that list there is no
name for requesting the specific actions for a sticky
directory. I would have to add an extra argument and
forward it to the called functions.

I need to think more about it before accepting the
proposal.

Regards

Jean-Pierre
