/* redir.c: code for opening files and piping heredocs after fork but before exec. */

#include "rc.h"

/*
   Walk the redirection queue, and open files and dup2 to them. Also,
   here-documents are treated here by dumping them down a pipe. (this
   should make here-documents fast on systems with lots of memory which
   do pipes right. Under sh, a file is copied to /tmp, and then read
   out of /tmp again. I'm interested in knowing how much faster, say,
   shar runs when unpacking when invoked with rc instead of sh. On my
   sun4/280, it runs in about 60-75% of the time of sh for unpacking
   the rc source distribution.)
