<p>If you are accessing a remote file through the Network File System, update
operations to file permissions at the server are not reflected at the client
until updates to data that is stored locally by the Network File System take
place. (Several options on the Add Mounted File System (ADDMFS) command
determine the time between refresh operations of local data.) Access to a
remote file may also fail due to different mappings of user IDs (UID) or group
IDs (GID) on the local and remote systems.</p>

<h3><a name="usage_notes">Usage Notes</a></h3>
<ol type="1">
<li>This function will fail with error code [ENOTSAFE] when all the following
conditions are true:<br>
<br>
<ul>
<li>Where multiple threads exist in the job.<br>
</li>
<li>The object on which this function is operating resides in a file system
that is not threadsafe. Only the following file systems are threadsafe for this
function:<br>
<br>
<ul>
<li>"Root" (/)</li>
<li>QOpenSys</li>
<li>User-defined</li>
<li>QNTC</li>
<li>QSYS.LIB</li>
<li>Independent ASP QSYS.LIB</li>
<li>QOPT</li>
<li>Network File System</li>
<li>QFileSvr.400</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>The <strong>fchdir()</strong> API operates on two objects: the previous
current working directory and the new one. If either of these objects is
managed by a file system that is not threadsafe, <strong>fchdir()</strong>
fails with the ENOTSAFE error code.</p>
</li>
<li>Network File System Differences
<p>If the local storage of attributes and names is not suppressed (option noac
when the file system is mounted), then one can potentially use the <strong>
fchdir()</strong> API to change to a directory which has been removed. This
depends on how often and when the local storage of attributes and names is
refreshed.</p>

<h3>Example</h3>

for information pertaining to code examples.</p>
<p>The following example uses <strong>fchdir()</strong>:</p>
<pre>
#include &lt;stdio.h&gt;
#include &lt;unistd.h&gt;
#include &lt;fcntl.h&gt;
main() {
char dir[]="tempfile";
int file_descriptor;
int oflag1 = O_RDONLY | O_CCSID;
mode_t mode = S_IRUSR | S_IWUSR | S_IXUSR;
unsigned int open_ccsid = 37;
if ((file_descriptor = open(dir,oflag1,mode,open_ccsid)) &lt; 0)
perror("open() error");
else {
if (fchdir(file_descriptor) != 0)
perror("fchdir() to tempfile failed");
close(file_descriptor);
}
}
</pre>
<p><strong>Output:</strong></p>
<pre>
fchdir() to tempfile failed: Not a directory.
