stricter error checking in file streams (input, output)
This also makes the programs exit with a non-zero status when a read or write error occurs. This makes checking the exit status more reliable in scripts. A simple example to simulate a disk with no space left: curl -s 'https://codemadness.org/atom.xml' | sfeed > f /mnt/test: write failed, file system is full echo $? 0 Which now produces: curl -s 'https://codemadness.org/atom.xml' | sfeed > f /mnt/test: write failed, file system is full write error: <stdout> echo $? 1 Tested with a small mfs on OpenBSD, fstab entry: swap /mnt/test mfs rw,nodev,nosuid,-s=1M 0 0
