Does gnulib support that yet ?
Gnulib supports dup3(). But dup3() is not the same as dup(); it is the same as dup2(). That is:
dup(fd) maps to fcntl(fd, F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC,0) == dup_cloexec(fd) dup2(fd1, fd2) maps to dup3(fd1, fd2, O_CLOEXEC) -- Eric Blake ebl...@redhat.com +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
