One thing you can improve is the use of static strings with write.
E.g. instead of write(2, "BLA", 3); something either like
const char msg_bla[] = "BLA";
write(2, msg_bla, sizeof(msg_bla));

or 

#define WRITE(fd, str) write(fd, str, sizeof(str))

would be useful, the hardwired string length is evil. Be careful though,
the sizeof only works with char[], not char * !
