APUE2e之Exercise 3.2

My implementation for APUE2e Exercise3.2: implement my own dup2 function that performs the same service as the dup2 function. Based on a little testing, it seems to work and behave as the provided dup2 function. I used the dup function to implement mydup2 function. However, I didn’t work on the error handling part, just succeed or fail.
