Isn't there anybody in the world who did not make his own fifo ? :o) But i could need a pointer to some programming hints about threads and signal handling. Especially how to keep all but a particular thread from being interrupted and jumping into the signal handler function. > I played with this a bit, if you are using higher level calls you can > replace fopen() with an open() using O_DIRECT, an fdopen() after that, Are you sure that the FILE functions like fread(), fwrite() don't spoil the success ? > The main benefit was to have less impact on > the rest of the system, the i/o in the program didn't run that much faster. A less annoyed system can possibly deliver better throughput. It is worth to further think about that. (I must get my processing pipe leaner, first.)
