POSIX specification: @url{http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/openat.html}

Gnulib module: openat

Portability problems fixed by Gnulib:

@item
This function is missing on some platforms:
glibc 2.3.6, MacOS X 10.3, FreeBSD 6.0, NetBSD 3.0, OpenBSD 3.8, AIX
5.1, HP-UX 11, IRIX 6.5, OSF/1 5.1, Cygwin 1.5.x, mingw, Interix 3.5, BeOS.
But the replacement function is not safe to be used in libraries and is not multithread-safe.
