            Bug ID: 202933
           Summary: unwanted behaviour change when writing to revoked
                    terminals
           Product: Base System
           Version: 10.1-RELEASE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---

Hi,

When a terminal is revoked, writing to it sets errno to:
- ENXIO until FreeBSD 10.1 kernel
- EIO with FreeBSD 10.2 kernel

The following program can be used to see this behaviour change:
------------------------------------------------------------------
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
extern int errno;
int main() {
  int id = open("/dev/console", O_RDWR);
  revoke("/dev/console");
  int ret = write(id, "X", 1);
  if (ret < 0) printf("errno=%d\n", errno);
  return 0;
}
------------------------------------------------------------------
It returns 6 (ENXIO) on FreeBSD 10.1 and 5 (EIO) on FreeBSD 10.2.

I wonder if this new behaviour would not be an unwanted side-effect due to
kernel changes.

For instance, this leads to bug ID 202932 for the rsyslog8 port, that loops
endlessly after /dev/console is revoked since the errno code tested to handle
correctly this case is now EIO instead of ENXIO.

This could happen to some other tools for the same reason.

Sincerely,
