37 +function opens a directory stream for the directory file
38 +descriptor
39 +.Fa fildes .
40 +The directory file descriptor should not be used or
37 41 closed following a successful function call, as this might cause undefined
38 42 results from future operations on the directory stream obtained from the call.
39 -Use \fBclosedir\fR(3C) to close a directory stream.

43 50 implemented using a file descriptor, applications will only be able to open up
44 -to a total of {\fBOPEN_MAX\fR} files and directories. A successful call to any
