Unsurprisingly, POSIX is silent. It just says "rewinddir shall also cause the directory stream to refer to the current state of the corresponding directory, as a call to opendir() would have done," basically the same text we had previously. This could be read as _mandating_ reopening it, but that is almost certainly not what they intended, so I think we're ok. https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/opendir.html https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/rewinddir.html -- David A.
