I updated the code and man page based on your and Bruce's comments. The code changes are pushed to the git tree and the updated man page is below. Thanks, Miklos ---- RENAMEAT(2) Linux Programmer's Manual RENAMEAT(2) NAME renameat, renameat2 - rename a file relative to directory file descrip- tors SYNOPSIS #include /* Definition of AT_* constants */ #include int renameat(int olddirfd, const char *oldpath, int newdirfd, const char *newpath); int renameat2(int olddirfd, const char *oldpath, int newdirfd, const char *newpath, unsigned int flags); Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)): renameat(): Since glibc 2.10: _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 700 || _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200809L Before glibc 2.10: _ATFILE_SOURCE DESCRIPTION The renameat() and renameat2() system calls operate in exactly the same way as rename(2), except for the differences described in this manual page. If the pathname given in oldpath is relative, then it is interpreted relative to the directory referred to by the file descriptor olddirfd (rather than relative to the current working directory of the calling process, as is done by rename(2) for a relative pathname). If oldpath is relative and olddirfd is the special value AT_FDCWD, then oldpath is interpreted relative to the current working directory of the calling process (like rename(2)). If oldpath is absolute, then olddirfd is ignored. The interpretation of newpath is as for oldpath, except that a relative pathname is interpreted relative to the directory referred to by the file descriptor newdirfd. renameat2() has an additional flags argument. renameat2() call with a zero flags argument is equivalent to renameat(). The flags argument is a bitfield consisting of zero or more of the fol- lowing constants defined in : RENAME_NOREPLACE Don't overwrite the target of the rename. Fail if the target would be overwritten. RENAME_EXCHANGE Atomically exchange the source and destination. Both must exist but may be of a different type (e.g. one a non-empty directory and the other a symbolic link). Specifying this flag together with RENAME_NOREPLACE is invalid. RETURN VALUE On success, renameat() and renameat2() return 0. On error, -1 is returned and errno is set to indicate the error. ERRORS The same errors that occur for rename(2) can also occur for renameat() and renameat2(). The following additional errors can occur for renameat() and renameat2(): EBADF olddirfd or newdirfd is not a valid file descriptor. ENOTDIR oldpath is relative and olddirfd is a file descriptor referring to a file other than a directory; or similar for newpath and newdirfd The following additional errors are defined for renameat2(): EINVAL The filesystem does not support a flag in flags EINVAL Invalid combination of flags EEXIST flags contain RENAME_NOREPLACE and the target of the rename exists ENOENT flags contain RENAME_EXCHANGE and either of the two files does not exist VERSIONS renameat() was added to Linux in kernel 2.6.16; library support was added to glibc in version 2.4. CONFORMING TO renameat() is specified in POSIX.1-2008. NOTES See openat(2) for an explanation of the need for renameat().
