The pipe2() function is similar to pipe() but allows setting FD_CLOEXEC and
O_NONBLOCK (on both sides) as part of the function.
If p points to two writable ints, pipe2(p, 0) is equivalent to pipe(p).
If the pointer is not valid, behaviour differs: pipe2() writes into the
array from the kernel like socketpair() does, while pipe() writes into the
array from an architecture-specific assembler wrapper.

The ttyslot() function was originally part for SUSv1, marked LEGACY in
SUSv2 and removed later on. This function only makes sense when using
utmp(5), because it was used to determine the offset of the record for
the controlling TTY. It makes little sense to keep it here, because the
new utmpx file format doesn't index based on TTY slots.
if the new file mode is the same as it was before; however, this
optimization must be disabled for filesystems that support NFSv4 ACLs.
Chmod uses pathconf(2) to determine whether this is the case - however,
pathconf(2) always follows symbolic links, while the 'chmod -h' doesn't.
This change adds lpathconf(3) to make it possible to solve that problem
in a clean way.

any open file descriptors >= 'lowfd'. It is largely identical to the same
function on other operating systems such as Solaris, DFly, NetBSD, and
OpenBSD. One difference from other *BSD is that this closefrom() does not
fail with any errors. In practice, while the manpages for NetBSD and
OpenBSD claim that they return EINTR, they ignore internal errors from
close() and never return EINTR. DFly does return EINTR, but for the common
use case (closing fd's prior to execve()), the caller really wants all
fd's closed and returning EINTR just forces callers to call closefrom() in
a loop until it stops failing.
Note that this implementation of closefrom(2) does not make any effort to
resolve userland races with open(2) in other threads. As such, it is not
multithread safe.

different from what has been offered in libc_r (the one spotted in the
original PR which is found in libthr has already been removed by David's
commit, which is rev. 1.44 of lib/libthr/thread/thr_private.h):
- Use POSIX standard prototype for ttyname_r, which is,
int ttyname_r(int, char *, size_t);
Instead of:
char *ttyname_r(int, char *, size_t);
This is to conform IEEE Std 1003.1, 2004 Edition [1].
- Since we need to use standard errno for return code, include
errno.h in ttyname.c
- Update ttyname(3) implementation according to reflect the API
change.
- Document new ttyname_r(3) behavior
- Since we already make use of a thread local storage for
ttyname(3), remove the BUGS section.
- Remove conflicting ttyname_r related declarations found in libc_r.
Hopefully this change should not have changed the API/ABI, as the ttyname_r
symbol was never introduced before the last unistd.h change which happens a
couple of days before.

Discussed with: das
an int constant to a long constant. This change improves consistency
in the following two ways:
1. The first 8 arguments are always passed in registers on ia64, which
by virtue of the generated code implicitly widens ints to longs and
allows the use of an 32-bit integral type for 64-bit arguments.
Subsequent arguments are passed onto the memory stack, which does
not exhibit the same behaviour and consequently do not allow this.
In practice this means that variadic functions taking pointers
and given NULL (without cast) work as long as the NULL is passed
in one of the first 8 arguments. A SIGSEGV is more likely the
result if such would be done for stack-based arguments. This is
due to the fact that the upper 4 bytes remain undefined.
2. All 64-bit platforms that FreeBSD supports, with the obvious
exception of ia64, allow 32-bit integral types (specifically NULL)
when 64-bit pointers are expected in variadic functions by way of
how the compiler generates code. As such, code that works correctly
(whether rightfully so or not) on any platform other than ia64, may
fail on ia64.
To more easily allow tweaking of the definition of NULL, this commit
removes the 12 definitions in the various headers and puts it in a
new header that can be included whenever NULL is to be made visible.
This commit fixes GNOME, emacs, xemacs and a whole bunch of ports
