| Portability problems fixed by Gnulib: |
| @itemize |
| @item |
| This function is planned to be removed from POSIX and to be deprecated |
| in glibc. Portable applications should use @code{readdir}. |
| @item |
| This function has an incompatible declaration on some platforms: |
| Solaris 11.4 (when @code{_POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS} is not defined). |

| |
| Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib: |
| @itemize |
| @item |
| This function is missing on some platforms: |
| Minix 3.1.8, mingw, MSVC 14. |
| @item |
| On platforms where @code{off_t} is a 32-bit type, this function may not |
| work correctly on huge directories larger than 2 GB. Also, on platforms |
| where @code{ino_t} is a 32-bit type, this function may report inode numbers |
| incorrectly. This can occur with file systems such as XFS (typically on |
| large disks) and NFS. The fix is to use the @code{AC_SYS_LARGEFILE} macro. |
