Tar now checks for inconsistencies caused when a file system is modified while tar is creating an archive. In the new approach, tar maintains a cache of file descriptors to directories, so it uses more -file descriptors before, but it gracefully adjusts to system limits on +file descriptors than before, but it adjusts to system limits on the number of file descriptors. The new checks are implemented via -the openat, dirfd, fdopendir, fstatat, and readlinkat calls +the openat, fdopendir, fstatat, and readlinkat calls standardized by POSIX.1-2008. On an older system where these calls do not exist or do not return useful results, tar emulates the calls at some cost in efficiency and reliability.
