XrdPosix.hh not installed

[suhlatwork]

Hi,

the file XrdPosix.hh is not copied to include/XrdPosix when XRootD is installed. Digging through the git history, it seems that this is the case since commit 67ab0ed. Given that this commit is already several years old with no one complaining about this so far, I wonder whether this was done on purpose or is a simple oversight.
This missing header means one cannot simply use the POSIX file functions like open, ..., but has to write XrdPosix_Open, ... in code making use of XrdPosix.

Thanks for the clarification!

Hmm, that is strange. I will have to research the history of that commit to see why the header file was removed from the public headers. Andy

Why would you need this header? You can use the interface via preload or direct linking...

Because some people did not want to do either and the header file gves you that capability. It used to be public aand we couldn't find a reason why it was removed from public and couldn't think of a reason why it shouldn't be public.
