dup2(1,1000000) needs to fail with EBADF (per POSIX), not EMFILE, based on our usage of it in other modules. * m4/dup2.m4 (gl_FUNC_DUP2): Detect bug. * doc/posix-functions/dup2.texi (dup2): Document it. Reported by Nelson H. F. Beebe and Jim Meyering. Signed-off-by: Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>

This function may return @code{-EBADF} instead of @code{-1} on some platforms:

Linux releases between July 2008 and May 2009 (versions 2.6.27 to 2.6.29).

This function returns @code{EMFILE} instead of @code{EBADF} for
|
|
extremely large targets, which interferes with using
|
|
@code{dup2(fd,fd)==fd)} as the minimal @code{EBADF} filter:
|
|
FreeBSD 6.1, Cygwin 1.5.
