"printf" can return how many bytes it is written. In the case that "write" can fail, "printf" can fail as well. e.g. disk full. This patch did not check the return value from printf either. If we really care about return value of write, (we don't). We can do some thing like: if (write(...)< len) die("...."); That at least check the return value.
