+/* Use this function to avoid a warning when using a function declared with
+ gcc's warn_unused_result attribute, but for which you really do want to
+ ignore the result. Traditionally, people have used a "(void)" cast to
+ indicate that a function's return value is deliberately unused. However,
+ if the function is declared with __attribute__((warn_unused_result)),
+ gcc issues a warning even with the cast.
+
+ Caution: most of the time, you really should heed gcc's warning, and
+ check the return value. However, in those exceptional cases in which
+ you're sure you know what you're doing, use this function.
+
+ For the record, here's one of the ignorable warnings:
+ "copy.c:233: warning: ignoring return value of 'fchown',
+ declared with attribute warn_unused_result". */
