What do you think is missing in those? My reading of the POSIX standard has
is implying that
<ftw.h> includes <sys/stat.h> to get st_mode and the stat structure.

The subtasks I referred to as the same for every time a new C Library or
POSIX method
is added to RTEMS or Newlib:

+ the code itself
+ test code
+ addition to documentation as needed
+ update to compliance tracking spreadsheet (usually I will do this)
