This includes a PIPELINE_QUIET environment variable which suppresses the error message normally emitted when a subprocess is terminated by a signal. Add `pipecmd_fchdir', which is analogous to `pipecmd_chdir' but takes an open file descriptor rather than a path. libpipeline 1.3.1 (22 September 2014) ------------------------------------- Fix test failures on Cygwin. Fix build on systems with neither setenv nor clearenv, e.g. Solaris 8. http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/libpipeline.git/tree/NEWS DESCRIPTION =========== libpipeline is a C library for manipulating pipelines of sub-processes in a flexible and convenient way. See http://libpipeline.nongnu.org/ Libpipeline is required for man-db. Man-db is an alternative 'man' package (http://man-db.nongnu.org/). Man-db is used by major Linux distributions such as Debian, Suse, and Fedora. A big advantage of man-db is better internationalisation support. Porting of man-db to Cygwin is being worked on. PORTING NOTES ============== On 32-bit Cygwin one test out of 7 fails (test basic). With a static library all tests succeed, but this package contains a shared library, which is preferred. Tests with man-db have not shown errors. On 64-bit Cygwin all tests pass. best regards, -- Erwin Waterlander http://waterlan.home.xs4all.nl/ -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
