Machine Type: i586-suse-linux
Bash Version: 2.05b
Patch Level: 0
Release Status: release
Description:
The printf builtin doesn't correctly handle errors generating from writing to
stdout, e.g. if the stdout file descriptor is closed. No error condition is
returned, and the fd error status isn't reset.
Repeat-By:
The following script demonstrates the problem:
printf x >&-
PRINTF_STAT=$?
echo
ECHO_STAT=$?
echo "printf: $PRINTF_STAT (should be 1), echo: $ECHO_STAT (should be 0)"
Fix:
The following patch adds echo's stdout error handling to printf.
Patch was tested successfully.
