| 199 | This doesn't compile, since warn() doesn't take an int eval. In general, the example seems OK as is, since the warnx() above gives a warning only, and opening some sort of device is apparently required. The duality of raw and block devices no longer exists, so the example is a bit out of date. Although warnings like these can be useful, they cannot be used in most POSIX-specified utilities used in the way specified by the standard. POSIX indicates this with the text "The standard error shall be used only for diagnostic messages." A "diagnostic message" implies that the exit status is not 0. | |
