If it's not documented, then I doubt whether this check is necessary in =
this test case.

'ls -f' shows "." in first in most OS I see. But on some OS I see ".." =
first.


Another issue is getdents01.c calls i386 assembly by =20
	rval =3D GETDENTS_ASM();

How about use:
	_syscall3(int, getdents, uint, fd, struct dirent *, dirp, uint, count);
	rval =3D getdents(fd, dirp, count);
so that this test case will be clearer and not only restricted to x86?

Thanks,
