I didn't see it mentioned, but I assume that you realize that this function name is in the POSIX reserved namespace and can't be visible to applications built in standards conforming mode.
Do you plan to suggest that posix_spawn_file_actions_addclosefrom() (without the _np suffix) and closefrom() be added to the next revision of SUS and the POSIX standards? - Don
