+/*++
+/* NAME
+/* dup2_pass_on_exec 1
+/* SUMMARY
+/* dup2 close-on-exec behaviour test program
+/* SYNOPSIS
+/* dup2_pass_on_exec
+/* DESCRIPTION
+/* dup2_pass_on_exec sets the close-on-exec flag on its
+/* standard input and then dup2() to duplicate it.
+/* Posix-1003.1 specifies in section 6.2.1.2 that dup2(o,n) should behave
+/* as: close(n); n = fcntl(o, F_DUPFD, n); as long as o is a valid
+/* file-descriptor, n!=o, and 0<=n<=[OPEN_MAX].
+/* Section 6.5.2.2 states that the close-on-exec flag of the result of a
+/* successful fcntl(o, F_DUPFD, n) is cleared.
+/*
+/* At least Ultrix4.3a does not clear the close-on-exec flag of n on
+/* dup2(o, n).
+/* DIAGNOSTICS
+/* Problems are reported to the standard error stream.
+/* LICENSE
