Hello there, ________________________________
>That's changing the written meaning. Indeed. Deliberately. The code isn't clear, so I guessed at what the code was trying to do. I might be wrong. As currently written, new_fd isn't a new file descriptor, it is a boolean value, even though it's type is int. If all the code wanted was a boolean value, why bother with an int ? I suggest looking at the code again, with a view to re-work to make it's intention clear. Brackets and appropriate types for local variables can help make the code more close to the original intention. Regards David Binderman
