+ stdopen: modernize and simplify
+ * lib/stdopen.c: Update copyright date
+ Do not include sys/types.h; no longer needed these days.
+ (stdopen): Use C99-style decl in loop. Return int errno
+ value, rather than just a bool. Do not worry about fd mismatches,
+ since the caller cares only if 0, 1, 2 are occupied.
+ * lib/stdopen.h: No need to include <stdbool.h>.
+ * m4/stdopen.m4: Remove.
+ * modules/stdopen: New file.
+
stdopen: copy from last use in coreutils
* lib/stdopen.c, lib/stdopen.h, m4/stdopen.m4:
New files, taken from their last commit in coreutils
