Given the behaviour of Solaris DOORS, the flags selected are very cleverly chosen. Sensible engineering :).
But now I am wondering... Which organization defines flags like S_IFSOCK or S_IFIFO?. Posix members?. I am worried about flag collision between OSs.
For instance, if DOORS were a real flag defined in Solaris, how other OSs would know to not reuse that flag for some other purpose? :).
Your comment is very valuable and solve my doubts about it. Implementation is truly trivial and could be supported everywhere. |
