13.104.1 gnu_dev_major

Documentation:
man gnu_dev_major

Gnulib module: —

Portability problems fixed by Gnulib:

• The AC_HEADER_MAJOR macro in Autoconf 2.69 and earlier fails to set MAJOR_IN_SYSMACROS when it detects namespace pollution in sys/types.h; which in turn provokes deprecation warnings in glibc 2.25.

Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:

• This function is missing on all non-glibc platforms: macOS 11.1, FreeBSD 14.0, NetBSD 9.0, OpenBSD 6.7, Minix 3.1.8, AIX 5.1, HP-UX 11, IRIX 6.5, Solaris 11.4, Cygwin 2.9, mingw, MSVC 14, Android 9.0.
