RE: apr_file_gets return code

[Ryan Bloom]

This has been discussed before, and the decision was that return EOF allows programmers to notice the EOF immediately and not call apr_file_gets again.  That decision can be changed, but I rather like that I can remove one call to the function.   Ryan   ---------------------------------------------- Ryan Bloom                  [EMAIL PROTECTED] 645 Howard St.              [EMAIL PROTECTED] San Francisco, CA -----Original Message----- From: Aaron M.

I would submit that the correct behaviour is to return success if anything is read before encountering the eof.
