| 3 | Some Linux systems, notably RedHat systems through RedHat 4.1, have the
|
|---|
| 4 | symbolic links for /dev/stdin and /dev/stdout messed up. Specifically,
|
|---|
| 5 | /dev/stdin is linked to ../proc/self/fd/1 and /dev/stdout to
|
|---|
| 6 | ../proc/self/fd/0. This is backwards. This causes strange behavior
|
|---|
| 7 | when using those files from within gawk.
|
|---|
| 8 |
|
|---|
| 9 | Removing and redoing the symlinks fixes the problem. It is fixed in
|
|---|
| 10 | post-4.1 RedHat Linux.

| 17 | As of version 3.1 of gawk, this is no longer a problem, since gawk now
|
|---|
| 18 | completely interprets the special file names internally.
