/*++ /* 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 /* .ad /* .fi /* The Secure Mailer license must be distributed with this software. /* AUTHOR(S) /* Christian von Roques /* Forststrasse 71 /* 76131 Karlsruhe, GERMANY /*--*/ #include #include #include #include #define DO(s) if (s < 0) { perror(#s); exit(1); } int main(int unused_argc, char **unused_argv) { int res; printf("Setting the close-on-exec flag of file-descriptor 0.\n"); DO(fcntl(0, F_SETFD, 1)); printf("Duplicating file-descriptor 0 to 3.\n"); DO(dup2(0, 3)); printf("Testing if the close-on-exec flag of file-descriptor 3 is set.\n"); DO((res = fcntl(3, F_GETFD, 0))); if (res & 1) printf( "Yes, a newly dup2()ed file-descriptor has the close-on-exec \ flag cloned.\n\ THIS VIOLATES Posix1003.1 section 6.2.1.2 or 6.5.2.2!\n\ You should #define DUP2_DUPS_CLOSE_ON_EXEC in sys_defs.h \ for your OS.\n"); else printf( "No, a newly dup2()ed file-descriptor has the close-on-exec \ flag cleared.\n\ This complies with Posix1003.1 section 6.2.1.2 and 6.5.2.2!\n"); return 0; }
