Subject: [bug?] Invalid file descriptor ignored
Date: Mon, 29 Feb 2016 07:44:52 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <56D3E8E4.6090007@inlv.org> (raw)
There is some strange and inconsistent behaviour when trying to write to
a non-open file descriptor. I think the following three test cases
should at least return a non-zero status, but only the third one does:
% echo hi 1>&-; echo $?
0
% { echo hi; } 1>&-; echo $?
zsh: write error: bad file descriptor
0
% echo hi 2>&- 1>&2; echo $?
zsh: 2: bad file descriptor
1
Other shells behaviour, FWIW: All other shells return a non-zero status
for all three cases. (d)ash, bash, yash produce an error message for the
first two cases but not the third. ksh88, ksh93 and {pd,m}ksh are silent
on all three.
Thanks,
- M.
