    Problem Summary O_SYNC missing from "all standard open flags" mask
    Problem Text In these tests the result returned by fcntl(F_GETFL, ...) is masked
    with the contents of the variable all_o_flags. This variable is
    initialised thus:

    122 /* Mask for all standard open flags */
    123 all_o_flags =
    (O_NONBLOCK|O_APPEND|O_CREAT|O_EXCL|O_NOCTTY|O_TRUNC);
    124 all_o_flags |= (O_RDONLY|O_WRONLY|O_RDWR|O_ACCMODE);
    125 #ifdef O_DSYNC
    126 all_o_flags |= O_DSYNC;
    127 #endif
    128 #ifdef O_RSYNC
    129 all_o_flags |= O_RSYNC;
    130 #endif

    Since the O_SYNC flag is missing, this causes the tests to report
    incorrectly that fcntl() has not included O_SYNC in the returned flags.
    Test Output /tset/POSIX.os/ioprim/fcntl_X/T.fcntl_X 1 Failed
    Test Description:
    On a call to fcntl(fildes, F_GETFL), the file access modes and
    status
    flags O_RDONLY, O_WRONLY, O_RDWR, O_NONBLOCK, O_APPEND and
    O_SYNC are
    returned for the file description associated with fildes.

    Test Strategy:
    FOR various combinations of file status flags:
    OPEN file with (O_CREAT | status_flags)
    VERIFY fcntl(fd, F_GETFL) returns status_flags

    Test Information:
    fcntl(fd, F_GETFL, 0) did not return expected flags:
    returned flags included 02, file was opened with 0202
    fcntl(fd, F_GETFL, 0) did not return expected flags:
    returned flags included 05, file was opened with 0205
    fcntl(fd, F_GETFL, 0) did not return expected flags:
    returned flags included 011, file was opened with 0211
    fcntl(fd, F_GETFL, 0) did not return expected flags:
    returned flags included 016, file was opened with 0216

    /tset/POSIX.os/ioprim/fcntl_X/T.fcntl_X 2 Failed
    Test Description:
    When flags contains the current status flags for the file
    description
    associated with fildes and the O_SYNC flag is not set in flags,
    then a
    successful call to fcntl(fildes, F_SETFL, flags|O_SYNC) sets the
    O_SYNC flag for the file description.

    Test Strategy:
    FOR various combinations of file status flags with O_SYNC clear:
    OPEN file with (O_CREAT | status_flags)
    CALL fcntl(fd, F_SETFL, status_flags|O_SYNC)
    VERIFY fcntl(fd, F_GETFL) returns status_flags|O_SYNC

    Test Information:
    fcntl(fd, F_GETFL, 0) did not return expected flags:
    returned flags included 02, flags had been set to 0202
    fcntl(fd, F_GETFL, 0) did not return expected flags:
    returned flags included 05, flags had been set to 0205
    fcntl(fd, F_GETFL, 0) did not return expected flags:
    returned flags included 011, flags had been set to 0211
    fcntl(fd, F_GETFL, 0) did not return expected flags:
    returned flags included 016, flags had been set to 0216
