Synopsis: fd and fd_in of BUFF api are dead State-Changed-From-To: open-closed State-Changed-By: marc State-Changed-When: Tue Oct 12 20:49:17 PDT 1999 State-Changed-Why: You can't just muck with internal fields of a structure and expect them to magically do what you want. There is no API for getting a file descriptor out of a BUFF. If you want to know exactly why fdopen is failing, you should print the value of the descriptor you are trying to fdopen and the errno when it fails. But regardless of why it fails, BUFFs are _not_ just some way of hiding a file descriptor. You can't just think "hey, they use a file descriptor so I can just yank it out.".
