Subject: | Possible misbehavior of write |
Is there a "correct" thing for write() to do when passed a null buffer? This code: write(fd,NULL,count); ...assuming reasonable values for fd and count, under Linux returns -1 and sets errno to EFAULT ("Bad address"). Under djgpp, however, it sends a SIGSEGV. Is this correct? What does POSIX / ANSI have to say? Nate Eldredge eldredge AT ap DOT net
