Good evening list,

1. R_OK and friends

in yaffs/direct/yaffsfs.[ch], there is a usage and optional define of 
R_OK, W_OK, X_OK, F_OK. If I read the man pages correctly (on Linux, 
Solaris and eCos), these macros must be defined in unistd.h. Is there a 
reason that that file is not included in e.g. direct/yaffsfs.h, in 
tandem with the (optional) includes of errno.h, sys/stat.h, and fcntl.h?

2. S_IREAD and friends

It seems that S_IREAD is deprecated by S_IRUSR, S_IWRITE by S_IWUSR, and 
S_IEXEC by S_IXUSR. (Google tells me so.) Is it a good idea to replace 
the obsoleted macros with the official ones? It is easy to work around 
this, by invoking make CFLAGS='-DIREAD=S_IRUSR' etc etc. Are there 
reasons that S_IREAD and friends are used?

3. loff_t

loff_t is a Linux extension. It is a bit all over the place, imported 
from mtd I'd guess. It is easy to do -Dloff_t=off_t of course; but my 
system isn't Linux, so this feels a bit away-from-home.

Thanks for comments,
