+/* 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. */
