Do you think this is more attractive?
ret = fstatat(fd, 0, &stat, AT_STAT_SELF|AT_STAT_TYPE|AT_STAT_SIZE);
Or this?
ret = fstatat(fd, 0, &stat, AT_STAT_TYPE|AT_STAT_SIZE);
Where 0 in the path automatically means AT_STAT_SELF.
Or this?
ret = fstatat(fd, AT_STAT_SELF, &stat, AT_STAT_TYPE|AT_STAT_SIZE);
Where AT_STAT_SELF is defined as (const char *)-1 in system headers,
to better catch null pointer application bugs.
