Hi,

both patches are applied. I undid your changes to capitalize STDIN,
STDOUT, and STDERR though. Those words are lowercase in C code, so
their capitalized versions would be our own invention. I'd think that
stdin/stdout/stderr in technical prose is completely readable, so I
changed them to full words and reverted the capitalization in some
places.
