* Public domain dup2() lookalike

* by Curtis Jackson @ AT&T Technologies, Burlington, NC

* electronic address: burl!rcj

* dup2 performs the following functions:

* Check to make sure that fd1 is a valid open file descriptor.

* Check to see if fd2 is already open; if so, close it.

* Duplicate fd1 onto fd2; checking to make sure fd2 is a valid fd.

* Return fd2 if all went well; return BADEXIT otherwise.
