The description of canonicalize_file_name in <stdlib.h> does not match the
behaviour of the canonicalize_file_name function. Here is a patch that
clarifies that it behaves like gnulib's
"canonicalize_filename_mode (name, CAN_EXISTING)".

*** 741,748 ****
#ifdef __USE_GNU
/* Return a malloc'd string containing the canonical absolute name of the
! named file. The last file name component need not exist, and may be a
! symlink to a nonexistent file. */
extern char *canonicalize_file_name (__const char *__name)
__THROW __nonnull ((1)) __wur;
#endif
--- 741,748 ----
#ifdef __USE_GNU
/* Return a malloc'd string containing the canonical absolute name of the
! named file. If any file name component does not exist or is a symlink
! to a nonexistent file, return NULL. */
extern char *canonicalize_file_name (__const char *__name)
__THROW __nonnull ((1)) __wur;
#endif
Btw, the bug tracker does not allow me to enter "Version: 2.5", but glibc-2.5
is already released.
