[GRASS-DEV] Re: Exit with parent on Windows

[Radim Blazek]

I found the problem,
driver process on Windows does inherits the ends of pipes used
by module and consequently that ends are not closed even if close()
is called on them in module.  It works if I call close() in driver
unfortunately I dont know the numbers of discriptors to close.

How can I close all file descriptors? _fcloseall() does not work
because streams are not inherited(?). Can I get somehow
maximum number of open descriptor?
