New submission from krsna <bhr...@yahoo.com>:
---CODE---
import os
path = "file.txt"
fd = os.open(path, os.O_WRONLY)
os.close(1) #STDOUT
os.dup(fd)
pid = os.fork()
if pid == 0:
args = "ls -l".split()
os.execvp(args[0], args)
else:
os.waitpid(pid, 0)
print('Done from Parent')
--- END CODE ---
Running this with python
```
> python -V
Python 3.8.2
```
I get the following:
```
> echo"" > file.txt && python example.py && cat file.txt
ls: write error: Bad file descriptor
Done from Parent
```
Running the same with micropython:
```
> echo"">file.txt && micropython me && cat file.txt

Done from Parent
```
With the follow C which is almost a 1:1 to the CODE segment above
```
#include <stdio.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <unistd.h>
int main(int argc, const char *argv[])
{
int fd = open("file.txt", O_WRONLY);
close(1);
dup(fd);
if (fork() == 0) {
char *cmd = "ls";
char *argv[3];
argv[0] = "ls";
argv[1] = "-l";
argv[2] = NULL;
execvp(cmd, argv);
} else {
wait(0);
close(fd);
puts("Done from Parent");
}
return 0;
}
```
I get the same output as micropython example above
```

I tried looking around for the code of `dup` in cpython to compare, but could
only find `dup2.c`.
