It adds flag parameters in all the places where none is present to
control aspects of the returned file descriptor(s). So far atomic
close-on-exec and setting non-blocking mode are implemented. More can
follow if wanted. Similar to the O_CLOEXEC and F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC
extensions which I wrote several moons ago. Just two weeks ago I pointed at
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=443321
as a case which we cannot really fix without these kind of extensions.
