Ok, then we also want openat(2), fchmodat(2) (which seems to be misnamed
and looks more like a chmodat(2)), unlinkat(2), fchownat(2) (same remark
as fchmodat), etc.

openat(2) is similar to, but not the same as, the existing function
fhopen(2). 

These functions can be found here too:

FreeBSD seems to have:

    faccessat
    fchmodat
    fchownat
    fstatat
    futimesat
    linkat
    mkdirat
    mkfifoat
    mknodat
    openat
    readlinkat
    renameat
    symlinkat
    unlinkat
