Well, thanks to the bad documentation (see the man page to the open()
function, doesn't even *mention* the permissions argument, not
even the OpenGroup page does .. despite giving examples using it):
Now I do:
int sout = open("mystdout.log",O_CREAT | O_WRONLY | O_TRUNC, S_IRUSR |
S_IWUSR | S_IRGRP | S_IROTH);
int serr = open("mystderr.log",O_CREAT | O_WRONLY | O_TRUNC, S_IRUSR |
S_IWUSR | S_IRGRP | S_IROTH);
and the C output works. Maybe I got confused. I moved the close() calls to after
the open calls to ensure 0,1,2 stayed open long enough to ensure sout and
serr didn't get numbers 0,1, or 2 so I could dup2 onto them. I should
also open 0 onto /dev/null I guess to prevent some other open() call
using the wrong value (fd 0 will be unused so must be assigned
by the next open() call, I better use it in case I try to read from it
and get a different file .. kind of messy).
