/* Suppose that you are a shell. You start child processes.
* They work and eventually exit. You want to get user input.
* You read stdin. But what happens if last child switched
* its stdin into O_NONBLOCK mode?
*
* *** SURPRISE! It will affect the parent too! ***
* *** BIG SURPRISE! It stays even after child exits! ***
*
* This is a design bug in UNIX API.
* fcntl(0, F_SETFL, fcntl(0, F_GETFL) | O_NONBLOCK);
* will set nonblocking mode not only on _your_ stdin, but
* also on stdin of your parent, etc.
*
* In general,
* fd2 = dup(fd1);
* fcntl(fd2, F_SETFL, fcntl(fd2, F_GETFL) | O_NONBLOCK);
* sets both fd1 and fd2 to O_NONBLOCK. This includes cases
* where duping is done implicitly by fork() etc.
*
* We need
* fcntl(fd2, F_SETFD, fcntl(fd2, F_GETFD) | O_NONBLOCK);
* (note SETFD, not SETFL!) but such thing doesn't exist.
*
* Alternatively, we need nonblocking_read(fd, ...) which doesn't
* require O_NONBLOCK dance at all. Actually, it exists:
* n = recv(fd, buf, len, MSG_DONTWAIT);
* "MSG_DONTWAIT:
* Enables non-blocking operation; if the operation
* would block, EAGAIN is returned."
* but recv() works only for sockets!
*
* So far I don't see any good solution, I can only propose
* that affected readers should be careful and use this routine,
* which detects EAGAIN and uses poll() to wait on the fd.
* Thankfully, poll() doesn't care about O_NONBLOCK flag.
