sure, but writing closefrom(3) requires the same or equivalent knowledge, no? > if you sometimes forget which is 1 and which is 2, then the macro only makes > it more confusing because now you have to decide what comes after stderr. is > it stdin? or stdout? if you sometimes forget whats 1 and 2 you have probably more problems than that ;-) anyway, i only wanted to point this out, in case someone thinks this is some matter of style. i'm fine with the 3.
