47 This system call is obsolete.
54 system call operates in exactly the same way as
56 except for the differences described in this manual page.
58 If the pathname given in
60 is relative, then it is interpreted relative to the directory
61 referred to by the file descriptor
63 (rather than relative to the current working directory of
64 the calling process, as is done by
66 for a relative pathname).
76 is interpreted relative to the current working
77 directory of the calling process (like

102 is not a valid file descriptor.
108 is a file descriptor referring to a file other than a directory.
111 was added to Linux in kernel 2.6.16.
113 This system call is nonstandard.
114 It was implemented from a specification that was proposed for POSIX.1,
115 but that specification was replaced by the one for
