Hi Ken,
Can anyone think of a reason that for this specific case closefds()
should NOT be moved from whatnowbr.c (and send.c) into sendsbr.c, and
just in the child process?
IT does seem odd to have it in the parent rather than just the child.
The only thing I can think of is if it's cleaning up some
file-descriptor leak in the parent, especially if one of the still-open
files will be opened anew by the child. Perhaps closefds() could peer
at /proc/getpid()/fd to see what these FDs that start from three onwards
are? To test it's working, perhaps a `42>/tmp/foo' when running the
command.
