descriptor? That way the utility side would notice immediately that it
can't get input from the user and most likely abort.
Could work in principle, though closing is not so good, as then the first
file opened by the program will get FD 0 and weird things could happen.
But dup2()ing a /dev/zero FD instead should do the trick. Without actually
parsing the program output it will be virtually impossible to present a
specific error message to the user, though.
