NAME

       dup - duplicate an open file descriptor

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

       fildes  is  a file descriptor obtained from a or system call.  returns a new file descriptor having the following in common with the origi-

	      o  Same open file (or pipe).

	      o  Same file pointer (i.e., both file descriptors share one file pointer).

	      o  Same access mode (read, write or read/write).

	      o  Same file status flags (see fcntl(2),

       The new file descriptor is set to remain open across system calls.  See fcntl(2).

       The file descriptor returned is the lowest one available.

RETURN VALUE

       Upon successful completion, the file descriptor is returned as a non-negative integer.  Otherwise, a value of -1 is returned and is set	to
       indicate the error.
