/* Gnulib needs to save and restore the current working directory to
fully emulate functions like fstatat. But Emacs doesn't care what
the current working directory is; it always uses absolute file
names. This module replaces the Gnulib module by omitting the code
that Emacs does not need. */

/* Record the location of the current working directory in CWD so that
the program may change to other directories and later use restore_cwd
to return to the recorded location. This function may allocate
space using malloc (via getcwd) or leave a file descriptor open;
use free_cwd to perform the necessary free or close. Upon failure,
no memory is allocated, any locally opened file descriptors are
closed; return non-zero -- in that case, free_cwd need not be
called, but doing so is ok. Otherwise, return zero.
The _raison d'etre_ for this interface is that the working directory
is sometimes inaccessible, and getcwd is not robust or as efficient.
So, we prefer to use the open/fchdir approach, but fall back on
getcwd if necessary. This module works for most cases with just
the getcwd-lgpl module, but to be truly robust, use the getcwd module.
Some systems lack fchdir altogether: e.g., OS/2, pre-2001 Cygwin,
SCO Xenix. Also, SunOS 4 and Irix 5.3 provide the function, yet it
doesn't work for partitions on which auditing is enabled. If
you're still using an obsolete system with these problems, please
send email to the maintainer of this code. */
