* docs: typo: tiny grammar change: "pointed by" -> "pointed to by" (#118411)Andrew Zipperer2024-05-021-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * docs: tiny grammar change: "pointed by" -> "pointed to by" This commit uses "file pointed to by" to replace "file pointed by" in - doc for shutil.copytree - docstring for shutil.copytree - docstring _abc.PathBase.open - docstring for pathlib.Path.open - doc for os.copy_file_range - doc for os.splice The docs use "file pointed to by" more frequently than "file pointed by". So, this commit replaces the uses of "file pointed by" in order to make the uses consistent through the docs. ```bash $ grep -ri 'pointed to by' cpython/ ``` yields more results than ```bash $ grep -ri 'pointed by' cpython/ ``` Separately: There are two occurrences of "tree pointed by": - cpython/Doc/library/xml.etree.elementtree.rst for `xml.etree.ElementInclude.include` - cpython/Lib/xml/etree/ElementInclude.py for `include` For those uses of "tree pointed by", I expect "tree pointed to by" instead. However, I found enough uses online of (a) "tree pointed by" rather than (b) "tree pointed to by" to convince me that (a) is in common use. So, this commit does not replace those occurrences of "tree pointed by" to "tree pointed to by". But I will replace them if a reviewer believes it is correct to replace them. * docs: typo: "exists and executable" -> "exists and is executable" --------- Co-authored-by: Andrew-Zipperer <atzipperer@gmail.com>

* gh-113117: Support posix_spawn in subprocess.Popen with close_fds=True (#113118)Jakub Kulík2023-12-171-2/+13
| | | | | | | | Add support for `os.POSIX_SPAWN_CLOSEFROM` and `posix_spawn_file_actions_addclosefrom_np` and have the `subprocess` module use them when available.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | * gh-105912: document gotcha with using os.fork on macOS Using ``fork(2)`` on macOS when also using higher-level system APIs in the parent proces can crash on macOS because those system APIs are not written to handle this usage pattern.

* gh-59616: Support os.chmod(follow_symlinks=True) and os.lchmod() on Windows ↵Serhiy Storchaka2023-12-141-1/+8

* gh-107959: clarify Unix-availability of `os.lchmod()` (GH-107960)Christoph Anton Mitterer2023-12-131-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | POSIX specifies that implementations are not required to support changing the file mode of symbolic links, but may do so. Consequently, `lchmod()` is not part of POSIX (but mentioned for implementations which do support the above). The current wording of the availability of `os.lchmod()` is rather vague and improved to clearly tell which POSIX/Unix/BSD-like support the function in general (those that support changing the file mode of symbolic links). Further, some examples of major implementations are added. Data for the BSDs taken from their online manpages.
