Hi Harald,
execlp (mhlproc, mhl, "-form", filter, "-noclear", NULL);
- fprintf (stderr, "unable to exec ");
- perror (mhlproc);
+ write(2, "unable to exec ", 15);
Reminds me of Hollerith constants, i.e. having to manually count the
length of a string literal. Can't we just stick with the fprintf(),
perror(), etc., and add judicious use of fflush()?
No. fflush() won't help since stderr should be unbuffered anyway. But
the vfork()ed child might still overwrite the parents data. Of course
we could stick with fprintf() if we dropped vfork()...
Apologies, I obviously haven't been following closely enough; I thought
we were getting rid of vfork() calls in the patch.
Cheers,
Ralph.
