Method Stdio.File()->dup2()

Method dup2

int dup2(Stdio.File to)

Description

Duplicate a file over another.

This function works similarly to assign() , but instead of making the argument a reference to the same file, it creates a new file with the same properties and places it in the argument.

Returns

Returns 1 on success and 0 (zero) on failure.

Note

In Pike 7.7 and later to need not be open, in which case a new fd is allocated.

Note

Note also that to is also assigned to the same backend (if any) as this object.
