dduupp, dduupp22 - duplicate an existing file descriptor

DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN
DDuupp() duplicates an existing object descriptor and returns its value to
the calling process (_n_e_w_d = dduupp(_o_l_d_d)). The argument _o_l_d_d is a small non
negative integer index in the perprocess descriptor table. The value
must be less than the size of the table, which is returned by
getdtablesize(2). The new descriptor returned by the call is the lowest
numbered descriptor currently not in use by the process.
The object referenced by the descriptor does not distinguish between _o_l_d_d
and _n_e_w_d in any way. Thus if _n_e_w_d and _o_l_d_d are duplicate references to
an open file, read(2), write(2) and lseek(2) calls all move a single
pointer into the file, and append mode, nonblocking I/O and asynchronous
I/O options are shared between the references. If a separate pointer in
to the file is desired, a different object reference to the file must be
obtained by issuing an additional open(2) call. The closeonexec flag
on the new file descriptor is unset.
In dduupp22(), the value of the new descriptor _n_e_w_d is specified. If this
descriptor is already in use, the descriptor is first deallocated as if a
close(2) call had been done first.
RREETTUURRNN VVAALLUUEESS
The value 1 is returned if an error occurs in either call. The external
variable _e_r_r_n_o indicates the cause of the error.
EERRRROORRSS
DDuupp() and dduupp22() fail if:
[EBADF] _O_l_d_d or _n_e_w_d is not a valid active descriptor
[EMFILE] Too many descriptors are active.

DDuupp() and dduupp22() are expected to conform to IEEE Std 1003.11988
(``POSIX'').
