Subject: seq: produce consistent error messages upon write error
X-Git-Tag: v8.28~37
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ae150112846275604688f723ed0960309b289eec;p=thirdparty%2Fcoreutils.git

seq: produce consistent error messages upon write error

* src/seq.c (io_error): Use the same error message as would
be generated at exit time when closing the stdout stream.
The inconsistency was added with commit v8.25-26-gc92585b.
This was noticed due to an inconsistency in the expected
error message generated by seq on musl libc.
