I found it very efficient http://www.pixelbeat.org/programming/readline/ Note when testing io functions ensure that gnulib/lib/unlocked-io.h is used appropriately, especially for getc using functions like getndelim2() I previously did an itemization of the line processing in coreutils: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2009-03/msg00116.html cheers, Pádraig.
