Hi!
----
Is there any way (e.g. official shell API) to flush a stream, e.g.
issue a |fflush()| for a given shell {fd} ?
I'm trying to do this:
-- snip --
redirect {fd}<>"/tmp/chickenmonster.txt"
print -u${fd} "A"
<flush stream fd>
sleep 120
print -u${fd} "B"
redirect {fd}&-
-- snip --
Any suggestions for "<flush stream fd>" would be nice...
... BTW: If there isn't an API... what about adding a new option "-F"
to the "print" builtin to issue a flush after "print" did it's output
?
