[PATCH 1/1] tools: iio: replace seekdir() in iio_generic_buffer

From: Petre Rodan
Date: Mon Jan 08 2024 - 05:32:47 EST


Replace seekdir() with rewinddir() in order to fix a localized glibc bug.

One of the glibc patches that stable Gentoo is using causes an improper
directory stream positioning bug on 32bit arm. That in turn ends up as a
floating point exception in iio_generic_buffer.

The attached patch provides a fix by using an equivalent function which
should not cause trouble for other distros.
