From: Rubén Justo Date: Thu, 25 Jul 2024 13:44:27 +0000 (+0200) Subject: pager: do not close fd 2 unnecessarily X-Git-Tag: v2.47.0-rc0~161^2~2 X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=da9ef60c8f79b9af93a39fbd07dfc4e56a150d63;p=thirdparty%2Fgit.git pager: do not close fd 2 unnecessarily We send errors to the pager since 61b80509e3 (sending errors to stdout under $PAGER, 2008-02-16). In a8335024c2 (pager: do not dup2 stderr if it is already redirected, 2008-12-15) an exception was introduced to avoid redirecting stderr if it is not connected to a terminal. In such exceptional cases, the close(STDERR_FILENO) we're doing in close_pager_fds, is unnecessary. Furthermore, in a subsequent commit we're going to introduce changes that will involve using close_pager_fds multiple times. With this in mind, controlling when we want to close stderr, become sensible. Let's close(STDERR_FILENO) only when necessary, and pave the way for the upcoming changes.
