I'm using the forkv() call to run a subprocess.  I want to redirect
the suprocess's output to a file by (leaving out error checking):

static struct FORKENV env = {0,0,0,0,0,0};
file=fopen("...","w+"):
env.std_out=fileno(file);
forkv(prog,argv,&env,&child);
wait(&child);

This works when I don't try to redirect stdout (using NULL instead of
&env), and I've tried using "(long)file" instead of fileno(file), but
both guru.

So, is a fileno(...) the right type for env.std_out?  If not, what is
(and how do I get one from file)?

Thanks abunch... -Miles
