/*	$NetBSD: dup2_pass_on_exec.c,v 1.2 2022/10/08 16:12:50 christos Exp $	*/

/*++
/* NAME
/*	dup2_pass_on_exec 1
/* SUMMARY
/*	dup2 close-on-exec behavior 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.
