Go back and read the gdb session. STC in C:

#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <errno.h>
int main(void)
{
  int ret = dup2(0, 3200);
  if (ret == -1)
    printf("3200 errno %d: %s\n", errno, strerror(errno));
  else
    printf("3200 ok");

  ret = dup2(0, 3199);
  if (ret == -1)
    printf("3199 errno %d: %s\n", errno, strerror(errno));
  else
    printf("3199 ok");
  return 0;
}

output on my system:

3200 errno 9: Bad file descriptor
3199 ok
