FILE *gitfopen(const char *path, const char *mode)
{
FILE *fp;
struct stat st; if (strpbrk(mode, "wa"))
return fopen(path, mode); if (!(fp = fopen(path, mode)))
return NULL; if (fstat(fileno(fp), &st)) {
fclose(fp);
return NULL;
} if (S_ISDIR(st.st_mode)) {
fclose(fp);
errno = EISDIR;
return NULL;
} return fp;
}
