Gnulib module: mknod

Portability problems fixed by Gnulib:
|
|
@itemize
|
|
@item
|
|
This function requires super-user privileges to create a fifo:
|
|
FreeBSD 7.2, OpenBSD 3.8.
|
|
@item
|
|
This function mishandles trailing slash on some platforms:
|
|
FreeBSD 7.2, Solaris 9.
|
|
@item
|
|
This function is missing on some platforms; however, the replacement
|
|
always fails with @code{ENOSYS}:
|
|
mingw, MSVC 9.
|
|
@end itemize

|
|
|
Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:
|
|
@itemize
|
|
@item
|
|
Use of this function for anything except fifos is not portable,
|
|
generally requiring super-user privileges and knowledge of supported
|
|
device numbers.
|
|
@item
|
|
If the argument exists and is a directory, this function fails with
|
|
@code{EISDIR} instead of the correct @code{EEXIST}:
|
|
HP-UX 11.11.
