X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e10205bab2ceb2deabadb1140e68d92fdab1b093;p=thirdparty%2Fcoreutils.git

tests: check I/O error handling with /dev/full and closed pipes

* tests/misc/io-errors.sh: Verify that all commands diagnose write
errors, and handle a closed pipe appropriately.
* tests/local.mk: Reference the new test.
