This proposal will time out 10/19/2007. The proposal in this case is to create a new functional interface in libc: #include int dirfd(DIR *dir); The dirfd() function returns the file descriptor associated with the directory stream 'dir'. This function currently exists in Linux, OpenBSD, and OSX. It is also in the draft of the next revision of the SUS and POSIX standards. Its existence in Solaris would make porting of open-source applications to Solaris easier. See the bug report: 6614468 libc should provide a dirfd() The proposed committment level of this new interface is Stable. The proposed manual page for dirfd(3C) is in the materials directory. The proposed release binding is "micro release" so it can be back-ported as a patch to SunOS 5.10 if desirable.

I'm a little vocabulary-impared w.r.t. PSARC terminology. Please update the case to say: The proposed committment level of this new interface is Committed. The proposed release binding is "patch release" so it can be back-ported as a patch to SunOS 5.10 if desirable. Thanks, Roger
