It provides the information, yes, but it also hides some information. If you do it this way we cannot distinguish code which uses O_CLOEXEC at open-time from uses of fcntl(FD_CLOEXEC).
This is not needed for the specific application I have in mind. But if you, for instance, want to track down code which uses fcntl instead of doing the work at open-time using O_CLOEXEC we would need this information. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/
