Subject: [PATCH] file: remove redundant assignment to variable err
Date: Fri, 4 Dec 2020 17:56:00 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20201204175600.1147876-1-colin.king@canonical.com> (raw)
From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@canonical.com>
The variable err is being initialized with a value that is never read
and it is being updated later with a new value. The initialization is
redundant and can be removed.
Addresses-Coverity: ("Unused value")
