Thoughts on using flag `O_CLOEXEC` for unix source sets?

[Matthew Nelson]

Wanted to pop in and ask about the possibility of always opening descriptors with the O_CLOEXEC flag, or utilizing the e flag with fopen.

EDIT: Can sling up a PR if it would be an acceptable addition to the library!

[Jesse Wilson]

Yeah, seems quite reasonable. Do you have a specific use case? I’m curious about forking and execing in Kotlin/Native and haven’t seen many examples.

Please send a PR!

Not really, just thought it'd be an easy win for everyone.
