17 +.Sh DESCRIPTION
18 +The
19 +.Fn dirfd
20 +function returns the file descriptor associated with the
21 +directory stream
22 +.Fa dir .
23 +.Lp
25 24 This file descriptor is the one used internally by the directory stream
26 -operations. See \fBopendir\fR(3C), \fBclosedir\fR(3C), \fBreaddir\fR(3C),
27 -\fBrewinddir\fR(3C), \fBseekdir\fR(3C), \fBtelldir\fR(3C). The file descriptor
28 -is automatically closed when \fBclosedir()\fR is called for the directory
29 -stream \fIdir\fR or when one of the \fBexec\fR functions is called. See
30 -\fBexec\fR(2).

25 +operations. See
26 +.Xr opendir 3C ,
27 +.Xr closedir 3C ,
28 +.Xr readdir 3C ,
29 +.Xr rewinddir 3C ,
30 +.Xr seekdir 3C ,
31 +and
32 +.Xr telldir 3C .
33 +The file descriptor
34 +is automatically closed when
35 +.Xr closedir 3C
36 +is called for the directory stream
37 +.Fa dir
38 +or when one of the
39 +.Xr exec 2
40 +functions is called.
41 +.Lp
33 42 The file descriptor can safely be used only by functions that do not depend on
34 -or alter the file position, such as \fBfstat\fR(2) and \fBfchdir\fR(2).
35 -Closing the file descriptor with \fBclose\fR(2) or modifying the file position
43 +or alter the file position, such as
44 +.Xr fstat 2
45 +and
46 +.Xr fchdir .
47 +Closing the file descriptor with
48 +.Xr close 2
49 +or modifying the file position
36 50 by means other than the directory stream operations listed above causes
37 51 undefined behavior to occur when one of the directory stream operations is
38 -subsequently called with the directory stream \fIdir\fR.
39 -.SH RETURN VALUES
40 -.sp
41 -.LP
42 -Upon successful completion, the \fBdirfd()\fR function returns an open file
43 -descriptor for the directory associated with the directory stream \fIdir\fR.

52 +subsequently called with the directory stream
53 +.Fa dir .
54 +.Sh RETURN VALUES
55 +Upon successful completion, the
56 +.Fn dirfd
57 +function returns an open file
58 +descriptor for the directory associated with the directory stream
59 +.Fa dir .
60 +.Sh ERRORS
47 61 There are no defined error returns. Passing an invalid directory stream as an
48 -argument to the \fBdirfd()\fR function results in undefined behavior.
49 -.SH USAGE
