| Gnulib module: lchown |
| |
| Portability problems fixed by Gnulib: |
| @itemize |
| @item |
| Some platforms fail to detect trailing slash on non-directories, as in |
| @code{lchown("link-to-file/",uid,gid)}: |
| FreeBSD 7.2, Solaris 9. |
| @item |
| Some platforms fail to update the change time when at least one |
| argument was not -1, but no ownership changes resulted. However, |
| without @code{lchmod}, the replacement only fixes this for non-symlinks: |
| OpenBSD 4.0. |
| @item |
| This function is missing on some platforms; however, the replacement |
| fails on symlinks if @code{chown} is supported, and fails altogether |
| with @code{ENOSYS} otherwise: |
| Minix 3.1.8, mingw, MSVC 14. |
