From ebfefa84bad5a930df4df85b150c27f1d4fe6de6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Humm Date: Wed, 13 Oct 2021 23:11:40 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] -s: close unused fds MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit dup2 doesn’t close fds, it only duplicates them. The old ones weren’t closed, causing problems (like dwl blocking due to the child process never reading from the reading end, even if stdin has been closed). --- dwl.c | 2 ++ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+) diff --git a/dwl.c b/dwl.c index 6303c25..f84460f 100644 --- a/dwl.c +++ b/dwl.c @@ -1823,11 +1823,13 @@ run(char *startup_cmd) EBARF("startup: fork"); if (startup_pid == 0) { dup2(piperw[0], STDIN_FILENO); + close(piperw[0]); close(piperw[1]); execl("/bin/sh", "/bin/sh", "-c", startup_cmd, NULL); EBARF("startup: execl"); } dup2(piperw[1], STDOUT_FILENO); + close(piperw[1]); close(piperw[0]); } /* If nobody is reading the status output, don't terminate */
