configurations.)
>Description:
1) fseek is ignored on files that were fdopen'ed in append mode.
2) The second fprintf below sets errno even while no error really
happens. Note that this incorrect behaviour happens even if
the fseek belowcall of the test case is removed.
>How-To-Repeat:
Compile the test case below.
Then run it and redirect its output to a file.
I think it should print "errno should be zero here: 0".
But it prints "This should be overwritten;errno should be zero here: 2".
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdio.h>
extern int errno;
main ()
{ FILE *fs;
fs = fdopen (dup (fileno (stdout)), "a");
fprintf (fs, "This should be overwritten;");
fseek (fs, 0L, SEEK_SET);
fprintf (fs, "errno should be zero here: %d\n", errno);
exit (0); }
