id summary reporter owner description type status priority milestone component version resolution keywords cc difficulty 669 please add ability to call fchdir to posix module. Alan Post felix winkelmann "The fchdir call is like the chdir call, except it takes an open file descriptor rather than a filepath. Using this call on Unix is more reliable for keeping a handle on where you are in the filesystem, relative to using a pathname: a file descriptor will point to the same resource even when the path (or a component of it) is renamed. Will you apply this patch to chicken-core? * I'm not certain at all I've selected a good name for this routine. Will you perfect the name change-directory/fd? * I'm not sure how to implement it on w32, so I have not modified posixwin.scm. If this patch is not acceptable, what must I do to get it applied?
