Again, I'd explicitly test for a return value of -1 for consistency. fd[1] ought to be closed after this call. Not directly relevant to this patch, but '0' is a magic number. Use STDIN_FILENO from unistd.h. '1' is a magic number. Use STDOUT_FILENO from unistd.h. Test for return value of -1. '1' is a magic number.
