This function is missing on many non-glibc platforms:
|
|
MacOS X 10.5, FreeBSD 6.0, NetBSD 5.0, OpenBSD 3.8, Minix 3.1.8, AIX 5.1, HP-UX 11,
|
|
IRIX 6.5, OSF/1 5.1, Solaris 11 2011-11, Cygwin 1.7.1, mingw, MSVC 9, Interix 3.5, BeOS.
|
|
But the replacement function is not atomic; this matters in multi-threaded
|
|
programs that spawn child processes.

Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:

This function crashes rather than failing with @code{EMFILE} if no
|
|
resources are left on some platforms:
|
|
Cygwin 1.7.9.

@end itemize

Note: This function portably supports the @code{O_NONBLOCK} flag only if the
|
|
gnulib module @code{nonblocking} is also used.
