I'm about a week behind :-) but here are my 2 cents: it's a VERY useful
device for testing. Not checking the error code of write(), printf()
and such is a typical bug, so making it easy to detect by switching
the output to /dev/full (or creating a symlink to it) is a very
good idea. Like this:
yourprogram >/dev/full \
&& echo "The program does not check for success of write()"
