+The stream-based directory functions are not AS-Safe and cannot be
+used after @code{vfork}.  @xref{POSIX Safety Concepts}.  The functions
+below provide an alternative that can be used in these contexts.
+
+Directory data is obtained from a file descriptor, as created by the
+@code{open} function, with or without the @code{O_DIRECTORY} flag.
+@xref{Opening and Closing Files}.

+@safety{@prelim{}@mtsafe{}@assafe{}@acsafe{}}
+The @code{getdents64} function reads at most @var{length} bytes of
+directory entry data from the file descriptor @var{fd} and stores it
+into the byte array starting at @var{buffer}.
+
+On success, the function returns the number of bytes written to the
+buffer.  This number is zero if @var{fd} is already at the end of the
+directory stream.  On error, the function returns @code{-1} and sets
+@code{errno} to the appropriate error code.
+
+The data is stored as a sequence of @code{struct dirent64} records,
+which can be traversed using the @code{d_reclen} member.  The buffer
+should be large enough to hold the largest possible directory entry.
+Note that some file systems support file names longer than
+@code{NAME_MAX} bytes (e.g., because they support up to 255 Unicode
+characters), so a buffer size of at least 1024 is recommended.
+
+This function is specific to Linux.
