Neither, nor (i.e. it's in the middle). I'm not aware of an actual
problem, but I very much doubt that SF_SNAPSHOT really has the same
meaning on all systems (IOW, chances are high that some system has
allocated the same bit to mean something different).
Looking in more detail: for the S_IFMT flags, OSX/Darwin/FreeBSD defines
0xe000 as S_IFWHT (whiteout), but Solaris defines it as
S_IFPORT (event port). |
