Hi! I'm working under FreeBSD 5.2.1
I was trying to create if-filter for /etc/printcap. So, I writing
some frome handbook:
exec 3>&1 1>&2
/usr/local/bin/gs -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -q -sDEVICE=$GS_DEVICE \
-sOutputFile=/dev/fd/3 - -c quit
but, It's does not work --- there not device /dev/fd/3. Whn I
type in Linux
exec 3>&1
in /dev/fd creating new node --- /dev/fd/3. But not in FreeBSD!
Now I am using temporary some work around for my printcap:
/usr/local/bin/gs -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -q -sDEVICE=$GS_DEVICE \
-sOutputFile=- - -c quit
Who can tell me: why I can't create /dev/fd/3 (evenly under
root!), and what shell I do for create this?
