In working on posix_fallocate recently I noticed that for Issue 7
the wording for EINVAL had been changed.
The Issue 7 text says:
http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/posix_fallocate.html
~~~
Issue 7
Austin Group Interpretations 1003.1-2001 #022, #024, and #162 are applied, changing the definition of the [EINVAL] error.
~~~
Is there any way to go from those interpretation #s to Austin Group Bug
numbers (http://austingroupbugs.net/main_page.php)?
I'd like to read those issues and the final interpretations.
If I'm right then failure of pread in our emulation should return EINVAL
instead of EBADF (kernel error for failed pread on O_WRONLY file) to indicate
that posix_fallocate can't be supported.
Cheers,
Carlos.
