Hello;

Perhaps FreeBSD should take the same cautious approach of Solaris. Quoting
Casper at:

"
...
Not until it's clear there is a consensus about the functions.

Some of these had already been added in Solaris 2.6, I think,
where they originate.

For now we have:

fchownat
fstatat
futimesat
unlinkat
openat
__accessat (which was added waiting for the final POSIX standard)
renameat

These functions are relatively straightforward to implement in the
kernel and it is probably best to implement what is missing as private
functions until the standard has gravitated toward consensus.

There's some discussion about the 'f' argument."
