    Certification Program The Open Brand certification program
    Test Suite VSU version 4.0.2
    Test Identification Base/dbm_open 3
    Problem Summary TSD4U.00068 The test may fail on implementations that do not open exactly two file descriptors on a call to dbm_open().
    Problem Text
    Tests 3 and 4 fail because they assume that exactly 2 files
    will be opened on a call to dbm_open() and that this results
    in exactly 2 more file descriptors being used.

    The dbm_open spec states

    The function opens two files named file.dir and file.pag.

    This could be interpreted to mean that the function should open
    ONLY 2 files or that the function should open AT LEAST 2 files
    and can do whatever else it wants. We believe the second
    interpretation is the intended one.
    Test Output
    TEST CASE: dbm_open

    TEST PURPOSE #3
    A successful call to DBM *dbm_open(const
    char *file, int open_flags, mode_t file_mode) with
    O_WRONLY set in open_flags shall open the database
    files for reading and writing.
    PREP: Find first available file descriptor
    PREP: Open database with write only access
    PREP: Find next available file descriptor
    TEST: Database files with write access
    ERROR: Database does not have write access
    database was opened with O_RDONLY permissions
    3 FAIL

    TEST PURPOSE #4
    A successful call to DBM *dbm_open(const
    char *file, int open_flags, mode_t file_mode) with O_RDWR
    set in open_flags shall open the database files for
    reading and writing.
    PREP: Find first available file descriptor
    PREP: Open database with read/write access
    PREP: Find next available file descriptor
    TEST: Database files with read/write access
    ERROR: Database does not have read/write access
    database was opened with O_RDONLY permissions
    4 FAIL
