this saves a syscall in the case where the underlying open already
took place with O_APPEND, which is common because fopen with append
modes sets O_APPEND at the time of open before passing the file
descriptor to __fdopen.
/* Set append mode on fd if opened for append */
if (*mode == 'a') {
int flags = __syscall(SYS_fcntl, fd, F_GETFL);
- __syscall(SYS_fcntl, fd, F_SETFL, flags | O_APPEND);
+ if (!(flags & O_APPEND))
+ __syscall(SYS_fcntl, fd, F_SETFL, flags | O_APPEND);
f->flags |= F_APP;
}
