From 3c333937ee3be114b181c4861188cfe8f6a59697 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ulrich Drepper Date: Fri, 25 Jul 2008 22:32:13 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] dup3 fix Al Viro notice one cornercase that the new dup3() code. The dup2() function, as a special case, handles dup-ing to the same file descriptor. In this case the current dup3() code does nothing at all. I.e., it ingnores the flags parameter. This shouldn't happen, the close-on-exec flag should be set if requested. In case the O_CLOEXEC bit in the flags parameter is not set the dup3() function should behave in this respect identical to dup2(). This means dup3(fd, fd, 0) should not actively reset the c-o-e flag. The patch below implements this minor change.
