Subject: [PATCH] config: avoid "write_in_full(fd, buf, len) != len" pattern
Date: Wed, 15 Nov 2017 12:40:43 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20171115124043.17147-1-phillip.wood@talktalk.net> (raw)

From: Phillip Wood <phillip.wood@dunelm.org.uk>

As explained in commit 06f46f237 (avoid "write_in_full(fd, buf, len)
!= len" pattern, 2017–09–13) the return value of write_in_full() is
either -1 or the requested number of bytes. As such comparing the
return value to an unsigned value such as strbuf.len will fail to
catch errors. Change the code to use the preferred '< 0' check.
