Linux Standard Base Specification 2.1 | ||

<<< Previous | Next >>> |
The open() function shall behave as specified in ISO POSIX (2003), except with differences as listed below.
Where ISO POSIX (2003) specifies an ENXIO return, a conforming implementation may return either ENXIO or ENODEV. Implementations are encouraged to return ENXIO.
Rationale: As of spring 2004, no Linux kernel patches to switch to ENXIO are known, but it is believed that such a kernel patch would be accepted if submitted.
