+/* 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".  */
