system(3) && open file descriptors

Tue Apr 29 19:51:05 UTC 2014

Hi,

It seems that the proc started by the C library call system(3), as
/bin/sh -c string
owns the same set of open file descriptors as its calling proc. Is this
somewhere documented as a feature? 'man system" does not say anything
about, while 'man fork' does.

Thx
