I think "struct helper_data" should get a new FILE* field and once somebody creates a FILE* out of its helper->out, that FILE* can be passed around without a new xfdopen(). Or something like that. Who is responsible for closing the underlying helper->out fd in the start_command() API, by the way? -- 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
