Not sure what you mean here. Should I move "err = errno;" outside the innermost "if"? >From my POV, if errno != EPIPE, we save it into err, and return that (overridden by finish_command()'s return value, if non-zero). If errno == EPIPE, we're not interested in saving it, because we expect finish_command() to return non-zero in any case. ...Johan -- Johan Herland, <johan@xxxxxxxxxxx> www.herland.net -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
