No problem; we all had to learn sometime. But what I suggested should work for every platform that adheres to POSIX. If you were using fprintf/fwrite, then it would work on anything that's standard C. As for redirection, windows command line allows the same type of redirection. > so i guess there is no really easy way to output an inhomogeneous struct to > stdout without using a loop to output each array contained in the struct. That's not something C would ever provide easily. You may want to use a different high-level language. However, I often use macros for printing pieces of structures, for example I used this to print out sizes of kernel structures: #define SIZE(astruct, member) \ printf("%d\t\t.%s\n", sizeof(astruct.member), #member) #include <sys/ktrace.h> ... struct ktr_header header; struct ktr_genio genio; printf("%d\tktr_header:\n", sizeof(header)); SIZE(header, ktr_len); SIZE(header, ktr_type); SIZE(header, ktr_pid); SIZE(header, ktr_comm); SIZE(header, ktr_time); SIZE(header, ktr_time.tv_sec); SIZE(header, ktr_time.tv_sec); SIZE(header, ktr_tid); printf("\n%d\tktr_genio:\n", sizeof(genio)); SIZE(genio, ktr_fd); SIZE(genio, ktr_rw); In your case, you could make a macro for each type. Without an example of how you want the output to look, it's hard for us to show you code that will produce such output. -- Rick C.
