Subject: block_input for some APIs
Date: Mon, 12 Dec 2016 20:01:19 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <831sxdc9hs.fsf@gnu.org> (raw)
Does anyone remember why we block input around calls to functions like
getpwnam or tzset or fwrite?
I understand why we do that when we mess with stuff related to the
window-system or the window manager, but why do the above function
need that protection?
TIA
