[PATCH] test-lchown.h: "symlink ownership not supported" is indicated by


From: Ivan Zakharyaschev
Subject: [PATCH] test-lchown.h: "symlink ownership not supported" is indicated by EOPNOTSUPP
Date: Sat, 15 Dec 2018 15:48:34 +0300

The "symlink ownership not supported" condition is expected to be
indicated by EOPNOTSUPP, as opposed to the "no support for ownership",
which is indicated by ENOSYS.

The latter condition is checked for earlier in this test on a
directory (rather than on a symlink). And if ENOSYS is raised for a
symlink, but not for a directory, this would be against the expected
behavior and should make the test fail.

This change helps this test to work correctly (i.e., to be skipped) if
gnulib's own implementation of lchown is used.

Such convention concerning the meaning of EOPNOTSUPP was also stated
in The Open Group Base Specifications Issue 6
IEEE Std 1003.1, 2004 Edition
(http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009604599/functions/lchown.html);
however, the EOPNOTSUPP case is removed in Issue 7, 2018 Edition
(http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/lchown.html).

gnulib's own implementation in lchmod.c follows this convention since
a62be9f4039b4499cfbb76e394cad2259d03fa84 (2004-08-07):

int
lchown (const char *file, uid_t uid, gid_t gid)
{
# if HAVE_CHOWN
#  if ! CHOWN_MODIFIES_SYMLINK
  struct stat stats;

  if (lstat (file, &stats) == 0 && S_ISLNK (stats.st_mode))
    {
      errno = EOPNOTSUPP;
      return -1;
    }
#  endif

  return chown (file, uid, gid);

# else /* !HAVE_CHOWN */
  errno = ENOSYS;
  return -1;
# endif
}
