>Description:
namei(9) should specify under SYNOPSIS that sys/fcntl.h needs to be included.
The macro NDINIT which is described in namei(9), uses the value AT_FDCWD, which is defined in sys/fcntl.h.
If a program that uses NDINIT() is written and it does not include sys/fcntl.h, then it will not be able to compile.
>How-To-Repeat:
man 9 namei
>Fix:
Just add sys/fcntl.h as one of the required includes under SYNOPSIS.
