Hi Alan,
Whether to repeat close() in case of EINTR seems to differ between
platforms. POSIX leaves it open:
"If close() is interrupted by a signal that is to be caught, it shall
return -1 with errno set to [EINTR] and the state of fildes is
unspecified."
Linux recommends *not* repeating the call since the file descriptor is
closed already and repeating the close may close a reopened fd
belonging to someone else.
AIX, for instance, recommends to repeat the call:
"EINTR The state of the FileDescriptor is undetermined. Retry the
close routine to ensure that the FileDescriptor is closed."
As does HP-UX according to:
http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/close.2.html
Solaris leaves things unspecified as per POSIX.

Best Regards, Thomas

Why is this Linux only? I assume the do-while should be removed completely.
