This is getting into deep C territory, but... You don't have to switch to system calls and lose the convenience of printf in order not to have your output buffered. You have two other alternatives: 1. fprintf into stderr instead of stdout. stderr by default is not buffered. 2. Use setvbuf (see setbuf(3)) to make stdout unbuffered. By default, stdout is line-buffered if the standard output is a terminal (see isatty(3)) and block-buffered otherwise. -- Nadav Har'El | Thursday, Apr 4 2002, 22 Nisan 5762 [EMAIL PROTECTED] |----------------------------------------- Phone: +972-53-245868, ICQ 13349191 |In Fortran, God is real unless declared http://nadav.harel.org.il |an integer. ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
