[PATCH 18/18] flag parameters: NONBLOCK in inotify_init

From: Ulrich Drepper
Date: Sun May 04 2008 - 23:44:58 EST


This patch adds non-blocking support for inotify_init1. The
additional changes needed are minimal thanks to the previous preparation.

The following test must be adjusted for architectures other than x86 and
x86-64 and in case the syscall numbers changed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/syscall.h>

#ifndef __NR_inotify_init1
# ifdef __x86_64__
# define __NR_inotify_init1 294
# elif defined __i386__
# define __NR_inotify_init1 332
# else
# error "need __NR_inotify_init1"
# endif
#endif

#define IN_NONBLOCK (1 << 1)

int
main (void)
{
int fd = syscall (__NR_inotify_init1, 0);
if (fd == -1)
{
puts ("inotify_init1(0) failed");
return 1;
}
int fl = fcntl (fd, F_GETFL);
if (fl == -1)
{
puts ("fcntl failed");
return 1;
}
if (fl & O_NONBLOCK)
{
puts ("inotify_init1(0) set non-blocking mode");
return 1;
}
close (fd);

fd = syscall (__NR_inotify_init1, IN_NONBLOCK);
if (fd == -1)
{
puts ("inotify_init1(IN_NONBLOCK) failed");
return 1;
}
fl = fcntl (fd, F_GETFL);
if (fl == -1)
{
puts ("fcntl failed");
return 1;
}
if ((fl & O_NONBLOCK) == 0)
{
puts ("inotify_init1(IN_NONBLOCK) set non-blocking mode");
return 1;
}
close (fd);

puts ("OK");

return 0;
}
