57 This system call is obsolete.
64 system call operates in exactly the same way as
66 except for the differences described in this manual page.
68 If the pathname given in
70 is relative, then it is interpreted relative to the directory
71 referred to by the file descriptor
73 (rather than relative to the current working directory of
74 the calling process, as is done by
76 for a relative pathname).
86 is interpreted relative to the current working
87 directory of the calling process (like

101 is set to indicate the error.

118 is a file descriptor referring to a file other than a directory.
121 was added to Linux in kernel 2.6.16.
123 This system call is nonstandard.
124 It was implemented from a specification that was proposed for POSIX.1,
