Thanks again for looking into this. On 2023-01-03 06:08, Ondrej Valousek wrote:

This returns bool not int, so it should be declared to return bool. The body can be a one-liner, no?

Please add brief commentary as to why we need both chmod_or_fchmod and attr_copy_* (i.e., why it doesn't suffice to just do the attr_copy_*), and why it's important to do chmod_or_fchmod before doing attr_copy_*?
Also, please use Gnulib style in comments; no "*" on each line.Also, the test "source_desc <= 0 && dest_desc <= 0" looks wrong. Shouldn't it be "source_desc < 0 || dest_desc < 0"?

Although quoting inside "" isn't needed for shell variables that you know have only safe characters, these ac_cv_* shell var uses should be quoted inside "" for safety, e.g., 'test "$ac_cv_header_attr_libattr_h" = yes', in case the user screws up and puts spaces into their values. Please do this systematically for ac_cv_* variables.
