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
These are BSD functions.
- HaikuOS now compiles without having to use libbsd.
- Tested on SerenityOS (for fun), which doesn't have these functions (yet).
With a small change to support wcwidth() sfeed works on SerenityOS.
Handle it appropriately in the context of each format tool. Output the item but
keep it blanked.
NOTE: maybe in sfeed_twtxt it should use the current time instead?
- remove a check that has no use/can never happen.
- remove the return value as it's unused and the input size is known.
- fix an old comment that doesn't reflect what the function does anymore.
