+@subsection opendir - Open a Directory
+
+@subheading CALLING SEQUENCE:
+
+@ifset is-C
+@example
+#include <sys/types.h>
+#include <dirent.h>
+
+int opendir(
+  const char *dirname
+);
+@end example
+@end ifset
+
+@ifset is-Ada
+@end ifset
+
+@subheading STATUS CODES:
+
+@table @b
+@item EACCES
+Search permission was denied on a component of the path
+prefix of @code{dirname}, or read permission is denied
+
+@item EMFILE
+Too many file descriptors in use by process
+
+@item ENFILE
+Too many files are currently open in the system.
+
+@item ENOENT
+Directory does not exist, or @code{name} is an empty string.
+
+@item ENOMEM
+Insufficient memory to complete the operation.
+
+@item ENOTDIR
+@code{name} is not a directory.
+
+@end table
+
+@subheading DESCRIPTION:
+
+This routine opens a directory stream corresponding to the
+directory specified by the @code{dirname} argument.  The 
+directory stream is positioned at the first entry.
+
+@subheading NOTES:
+
+The routine is implemented in Cygnus newlib.
+
+@page
+@subsection readdir - Reads a directory
+
+@subheading CALLING SEQUENCE:
+
+@ifset is-C
+@example
+#include <sys/types.h>
+#include <dirent.h>
+
+int readdir(
+  DIR    *dirp
+);
+@end example
+@end ifset
+
+@ifset is-Ada
+@end ifset
+
+@subheading STATUS CODES:
+
+@table @b
+@item EBADF
+Invalid file descriptor
+
+@end table
+
+@subheading DESCRIPTION:
+
+The @code{readdir()} function returns a pointer to a structure @code{dirent}
+representing the next directory entry from the directory stream pointed to
+by @code{dirp}.  On end-of-file, NULL is returned.
+
+The @code{readdir()} function may (or may not) return entries for . or .. Your
+program should tolerate reading dot and dot-dot but not require them.
+
+The data pointed to be @code{readdir()} may be overwritten by another call to
+@code{readdir()} for the same directory stream.  It will not be overwritten by 
+a call for another directory.
+
+@subheading NOTES: 
+
+If @code{ptr} is not a pointer returned by @code{malloc()}, @code{calloc()}, or 
+@code{realloc()} or has been deallocated with @code{free()} or
+@code{realloc()}, the results are not portable and are probably disastrous.
+
+The routine is implemented in Cygnus newlib.
+
+@page
+@subsection rewinddir - Resets the readdir() pointer
+
+@subheading CALLING SEQUENCE:
+
+@ifset is-C
+@example
+#include <sys/types.h>
+#include <dirent.h>
+
+void rewinddir(
+  DIR *dirp
+);
+@end example
+@end ifset
+
+@ifset is-Ada
+@end ifset
+
+@subheading STATUS CODES:
+
+No value is returned.
+
+@subheading DESCRIPTION:
+
+The @code{rewinddir()} function resets the position associated with
+the directory stream pointed to by @code{dirp}.  It also causes the
+directory stream to refer to the current state of the directory.
+
+@subheading NOTES: 
+
+NONE
+
+If @code{dirp} is not a pointer by @code{opendir()}, the results are
+undefined.
+
+The routine is implemented in Cygnus newlib.
+
+@page
+@subsection scandir - Scan a directory for matching entries
+
+@subheading CALLING SEQUENCE:
+
+@ifset is-C
+@example
+#include <dirent.h>
+
+int scandir(
+  const char      *dir,
+  struct direct ***namelist,
+  int (*select)(const struct dirent *),
+  int (*compar)(const struct dirent **, const struct dirent **)
+);
+@end example
+@end ifset
+
+@ifset is-Ada
+@end ifset
+
+@subheading STATUS CODES:
+
+@table @b
+@item ENOMEM
+Insufficient memory to complete the operation.
+
+@end table
+
+@subheading DESCRIPTION:
+
+The @code{scandir()} function scans the directory @code{dir}, calling
+@code{select()} on each directory entry.  Entries for which @code{select()}
+returns non-zero are stored in strings allocated via @code{malloc()}, 
+sorted using @code{qsort()} with the comparison function @code{compar()},
+and collected in array @code{namelist} which is allocated via @code{malloc()}.
+If @code{select} is NULL, all entries are selected.
+
+@subheading NOTES:
+
+The routine is implemented in Cygnus newlib.
+
+@page
+@subsection telldir - Return current location in directory stream
+
+@subheading CALLING SEQUENCE:
+
+@ifset is-C
+@example
+#include <dirent.h>

+
+@ifset is-Ada
+@end ifset
+
+@subheading STATUS CODES:
+
+@table @b
+@item EBADF
+Invalid directory stream descriptor @code{dir}.
+
+@end table
+
+@subheading DESCRIPTION:
+
+The @code{telldir()} function returns the current location associated with the
+directory stream @code{dir}.
+
+@subheading NOTES: 
+
+The routine is implemented in Cygnus newlib.
+
+@page
+@subsection closedir - Ends directory read operation 
+
+@subheading CALLING SEQUENCE:
+
+@ifset is-C
+@example
+#include <sys/types.h>
+#include <dirent.h>
+
+int closedir(
+  DIR *dirp
+);
+@end example
+@end ifset
+
+@ifset is-Ada
+@end ifset
+
+@subheading STATUS CODES:
+
+@table @b
+@item EBADF
+Invalid file descriptor
+
+@end table
+
+@subheading DESCRIPTION:
+
+The directory stream associated with @code{dirp} is closed.
+The value in @code{dirp} may not be usable after a call to
+@code{closedir()}.
+
+@subheading NOTES: 
+
+NONE
+
+The argument to @code{closedir()} must be a pointer returned by 
+@code{opendir()}.  If it is not, the results are not portable and
+most likely unpleasant.
+
+The routine is implemented in Cygnus newlib.
+
+@page
+@subsection chdir - Changes the current working directory
+
+@subheading CALLING SEQUENCE:
+
+@ifset is-C
+@example
+#include <unistd.h>
+
+int chdir(
+  const char  *path
+);
+@end example
+@end ifset
+
+@ifset is-Ada
+@end ifset
+
+@subheading STATUS CODES:
+
+@table @b
+@item EACCES
+Search permission is denied for a directory in a file's path prefix.
+
+@item ENAMETOOLONG
+Length of a filename string exceeds PATH_MAX and _POSIX_NO_TRUNC is 
+in effect.
+
+@item ENOENT
+A file or directory does not exist.
+
+@item ENOTDIR
+A component of the specified pathname was not a directory when directory
+was expected.
+
+@end table
+
+@subheading DESCRIPTION:
+
+The @code{chdir()} function causes the directory named by @code{path} to
+become the current working directory; that is, the starting point for
+searches of pathnames not beginning with a slash.
+
+If @code{chdir()} detects an error, the current working directory is not 
+changed.
+
+@subheading NOTES:
+
+NONE
+
+@page
+@subsection getcwd - Gets current working directory 
+
+@subheading CALLING SEQUENCE:
+
+@ifset is-C
+@example
+#include <unistd.h>
+
+int getcwd( void );
+@end example
+@end ifset
+
+@ifset is-Ada
+@end ifset
+
+@subheading STATUS CODES:
+
+@table @b
+@item EINVAL
+Invalid argument
+
+@item ERANGE
+Result is too large
+
+@item EACCES
+Search permission is denied for a directory in a file's path prefix.
+
+@end table
+
+@subheading DESCRIPTION:
+
+The @code{getcwd()} function copies the absolute pathname of the current
+working directory to the character array pointed to by @code{buf}.  The
+@code{size} argument is the number of bytes available in @code{buf}
+
+@subheading NOTES:
+
+There is no way to determine the maximum string length that @code{fetcwd()}
+may need to return.  Applications should tolerate getting @code{ERANGE}
+and allocate a larger buffer.
+
+It is possible for @code{getcwd()} to return EACCES if, say, @code{login}
+puts the process into a directory without read access.
+
+The 1988 standard uses @code{int} instead of @code{size_t} for the second
+parameter.

+@subheading DESCRIPTION:
+
+The @code{open} function establishes a connection between a file and a file 
+descriptor.  The file descriptor is a small integer that is used by I/O 
+functions to reference the file.  The @code{path} argument points to the 
+pathname for the file.
+
+The @code{oflag} argument is the bitwise inclusive OR of the values of 
+symbolic constants.  The programmer must specify exactly one of the following
+three symbols:
+
+@table @b
+@item O_RDONLY
+Open for reading only.
+
+@item O_WRONLY
+Open for writing only.
+
+@item O_RDWR
+Open for reading and writing.
+
+@end table
+
+Any combination of the following symbols may also be used.
+
+@table @b
+@item O_APPEND
+Set the file offset to the end-of-file prior to each write.
+
+@item O_CREAT
+If the file does not exist, allow it to be created.  This flag indicates
+that the @code{mode} argument is present in the call to @code{open}.
+
+@item O_EXCL
+This flag may be used only if O_CREAT is also set.  It causes the call
+to @code{open} to fail if the file already exists.
+
+@item O_NOCTTY
+If @code{path} identifies a terminal, this flag prevents that teminal from
+becoming the controlling terminal for thi9s process.  See Chapter 8 for a
+description of terminal I/O.
+
+@item O_NONBLOCK
+Do no wait for the device or file to be ready or available.  After the file
+is open, the @code{read} and @code{write} calls return immediately.  If the 
+process would be delayed in the read or write opermation, -1 is returned and 
+@code{errno} is set to @code{EAGAIN} instead of blocking the caller.
+
+@item O_TRUNC
+This flag should be used only on ordinary files opened for writing.  It 
+causes the file to be tuncated to zero length..
+
+@end table
+
+Upon successful completion, @code{open} returns a non-negative file 
+descriptor.

+
+The @code{umask()} function sets the process file creation mask to @code{cmask}.
+The file creation mask is used during @code{open()}, @code{creat()}, @code{mkdir()},

+Bit positions that are set in @code{cmask} are cleared in the mode of the

+
+The @code{cmask} argument should have only permission bits set.  All other 
+bits should be zero.

+In a system which supports multiple processes, the file creation mask is inherited
+across @code{fork()} and @code{exec()} calls.  This makes it possible to alter the

+@subheading DESCRIPTION:
+
+@code{mknod} attempts to create a filesystem node (file, device special file or

+
+@code{mode} specifies both the permissions to use and the type of node to be created.
+
+It should be a combination (using bitwise OR) of one of the file types listed
+below and the permissions for the new node.
+
+The permissions are modified by the process's @code{umask} in the usual way: the 
+permissions of the created node are @code{(mode & ~umask)}.
+
+The file type should be one of @code{S_IFREG}, @code{S_IFCHR}, @code{S_IFBLK} and 
+@code{S_IFIFO} to specify a normal file (which will be created empty), character 
+special file, block special file or FIFO (named pipe), respectively, or zero, which 
+will create a normal file.
+
+If the file type is @code{S_IFCHR} or @code{S_IFBLK} then @code{dev} specifies the major  
+and minor numbers of the newly created device special file; otherwise it is ignored.
+
+The newly created node will be owned by the effective uid of the process.  If the
+directory containing the node has the set group id bit set, or if the filesystem
+is mounted with BSD group semantics, the new node will inherit the group ownership
+from its parent directory; otherwise it will be owned by the effective gid of the 
+process.

+@subheading DESCRIPTION:
+
+@code{Dup2} creates a copy of the file descriptor @code{oldfd}.
+
+The old and new descriptors may be used interchangeably.  They share locks, file
+position pointers and flags; for example, if the file position is modified by using

+
+The @code{close()} function deallocates the file descriptor named by
+@code{fildes} and makes it available for reuse.  All outstanding 
+record locks owned by this process for the file are unlocked.
+
+@subheading NOTES:
+
+A signal can interrupt the @code{close()} function.  In that case,

+
+@item EBADF
+Invalid file descriptor
+
+@item EINTR
+Function was interrupted by a signal.
+
+@item EIO
+Input or output error
+
+@end table
+
+@subheading DESCRIPTION:
+
+The @code{read()} function reads @code{nbyte} bytes from the file 
+associated with @code{fildes} into the buffer pointed to by @code{buf}.
+
+The @code{read()} function returns the number of bytes actually read
+and placed in the buffer. This will be less than @code{nbyte} if:
+
+@itemize @bullet
+
+@item The number of bytes left in the file is less than @code{nbyte}.
+
+@item The @code{read()} request was interrupted by a signal.
+
+@item The file is a pipe or FIFO or special file with less than @code{nbytes}
+immediately available for reading.
+
+@end itemize
+
+When attempting to read from any empty pipe or FIFO:
+
+
+@itemize @bullet
+
+@item If no process has the pipe open for writing, zero is returned to 
+indicate end-of-file.
+
+@item If some process has the pipe open for writing and O_NONBLOCK is set,
+-1 is returned and @code{errno} is set to EAGAIN.
+
+@item If some process has the pipe open for writing and O_NONBLOCK is clear,
+@code{read()} waits for some data to be written or the pipe to be closed.
+
+@end itemize
+
+
+When attempting to read from a file other than a pipe or FIFO and no data
+is available.
+
+@itemize @bullet

+
+@end table
+
+@subheading DESCRIPTION:
+
+@code{fcntl()} performs one of various miscellaneous operations on
+@code{fd}.  The operation in question is determined by @code{cmd}:
+
+@table @b 
+
+@item F_DUPFD  
+Makes @code{arg} be a copy of @code{fd}, closing @code{fd} first if necessary.
+
+The same functionality can be more easily achieved by using @code{dup2()}.
+
+The old and new descriptors may be used interchangeably. They share locks, 
+file position pointers and flags;  for example, if the file position is 
+modified by using @code{lseek()} on one of the descriptors, the position is  
+also changed for the other.
+
+The two descriptors do not share the close-on-exec flag, however.  The 
+close-on-exec flag of the copy is off, meaning that it will be closed on 
+exec.
+
+On success, the new descriptor is returned.
+
+@item F_GETFD  
+Read the close-on-exec flag.  If the low-order bit is 0, the file will 
+remain open across exec, otherwise it will be closed.
+
+@item F_SETFD  
+Set the close-on-exec flag to the value specified by @code{arg} (only the least 
+significant bit is used).
+
+@item F_GETFL  
+Read the descriptor's flags (all flags (as set by open()) are returned).
+
+@item F_SETFL  
+Set the descriptor's flags to the value specified by @code{arg}. Only  
+@code{O_APPEND} and @code{O_NONBLOCK} may be set.
+
+The flags are shared between copies (made with @code{dup()} etc.) of the same 
+file descriptor.
+
+The flags and their semantics are described in @code{open()}.
+
+@item F_GETLK, F_SETLK and F_SETLKW
+Manage discretionary file locks.  The third argument @code{arg} is a pointer to a 
+struct flock (that may be overwritten by this call).
+
+@item F_GETLK
+Return the flock structure that prevents us from obtaining the lock, or set the
+@code{l_type} field of the lock to @code{F_UNLCK} if there is no obstruction.
+
+@item F_SETLK
+The lock is set (when @code{l_type} is @code{F_RDLCK} or @code{F_WRLCK}) or 
+cleared (when it is @code{F_UNLCK}.  If lock is held by someone else, this
+call returns -1 and sets @code{errno} to EACCES or EAGAIN.
+
+@item F_SETLKW 
+Like @code{F_SETLK}, but instead of returning an error we wait for the lock to 
+be released.
+
+@item F_GETOWN 
+Get the process ID (or process group) of the owner of a socket.
+
+Process groups are returned as negative values.
+
+@item F_SETOWN 
+Set the process or process group that owns a socket.
+
+For these commands, ownership means receiving @code{SIGIO} or @code{SIGURG}
+signals.
+
+Process groups are specified using negative  values.
+
+@end table

+@code{Fildes} is associated with a pipe, socket or FIFO. 
+
+@item EINVAL
+@code{Whence} is not a proper value. 
+
+@end table
+
+@subheading DESCRIPTION:
+
+The @code{lseek} function repositions the offset of the file descriptor
+@code{fildes} to the argument offset according to the directive whence.   
+The argument @code{fildes} must be an open file descriptor. @code{Lseek}
+repositions the file pointer fildes as follows:
+
+@itemize @bullet
+
+@item 
+If @code{whence} is SEEK_SET, the offset is set to @code{offset} bytes.
+
+@item 
+If @code{whence} is SEEK_CUR, the offset is set to its current location
+plus offset bytes.
+
+@item 
+If @code{whence} is SEEK_END, the offset is set to the size of the
+file plus @code{offset} bytes.
+
+@end itemize
+
+The @code{lseek} function allows the file offset to be set beyond the end
+of the existing end-of-file of the file. If data is later written at this
+point, subsequent reads of the data in the gap return bytes of zeros
+(until data is actually written into the gap).
+
+Some devices are incapable of seeking.  The value of the pointer associated
+with such a device is undefined.

+
+@subheading DESCRIPTION:
+
+@code{fdatasync} flushes all data buffers of a file to disk (before the system call
+returns).  It resembles @code{fsync} but is not required to update the metadata such  
+as access time.
+
+Applications that access databases or log files often write a tiny data fragment
+(e.g., one line in a log file) and then call @code{fsync} immediately in order to  
+ensure that the written data is physically stored on the harddisk.  Unfortunately, 
+fsync will always initiate two write operations: one for the newly written data and 
+another one in order to update the modification time stored in the inode.  If the 
+modification time is not a part of the transaction concept @code{fdatasync} can be 
+used to avoid unnecessary inode disk write operations.
