/* Use "ignore_value" to avoid a warning when using a function declared with
gcc's warn_unused_result attribute, but for which you really do want to
ignore the result. Traditionally, people have used a "(void)" cast to
indicate that a function's return value is deliberately unused. However,
if the function is declared with __attribute__((warn_unused_result)),
gcc issues a warning even with the cast.
Caution: most of the time, you really should heed gcc's warning, and
check the return value. However, in those exceptional cases in which
you're sure you know what you're doing, use this function.
For the record, here's one of the ignorable warnings:
"copy.c:233: warning: ignoring return value of 'fchown',
declared with attribute warn_unused_result". */
