da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chinPOSIX threw out the file type bit macros and replaced them with
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chinfunction-like macros that test file type.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chinThis is bad in many ways, the worst of which is that it provides
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chinno way for a user program to synthesize file types in the mode bits.
