android-cloexec-pipe
====================
This check detects usage of ``pipe()``. Using ``pipe()`` is not recommended, ``pipe2()`` is the
suggested replacement. The check also adds the O_CLOEXEC flag that marks the file descriptor to
be closed in child processes. Without this flag a sensitive file descriptor can be leaked to a
child process, potentially into a lower-privileged SELinux domain.
Examples:
.. code-block:: c++
pipe(pipefd);
Suggested replacement:
.. code-block:: c++
pipe2(pipefd, O_CLOEXEC);
