Hi,

i would like to ask for your expert knowledge.

How to prevent file descriptor leaks in a multi-threaded application
that fork+exec. Quick answer is surely "use O_CLOEXEC" to close those
file descriptors on exec.

But how does this work with fopen in a portable way ?
GNU libc has the 'e' flag for exactly this.

How about other non-GNU OSes / alternative C libraries ?

Regards, Tim
