fdopendir: detect FreeBSD bug FreeBSD fdopendir(fd) always consumes fd, even if it fails with ENOTDIR. The code that works around the GNU Hurd bug also fixes this; we just need to detect it. * m4/fdopendir.m4 (gl_FUNC_FDOPENDIR): Detect bug. * doc/posix-functions/fdopendir.texi (fdopendir): Document it.
