Hi,
since DJGPP 2.01 does have /dev/null and /dev/tty emulation, I suggest
that friendly fact should be reflected in the libc.info file. The node
`File System Extensions´ says:
>>>
A normal extension would provide these parts:
* Some function to create a connection to the extension. This may
be a custom function (such as `socket' for networking) or an
extension to open (such as for `/dev/null' emulation).
<<<
This could lead to the false assumption that users have to write their
own /dev/null emulation (or not use /dev/null at all).
Regards...
Michael
