The immediate solution is to use setvbuf() to unbuffer the read
operations. However, there are a number of other problems with
your code which are minor, but worth changing.
(One other solution you might consider, is to buffer the data,
close the file, and only open it up to re-read when stat() says
the file has actually changed.)
As to what is happening... The stdio functions are buffering
file read/write data, and for a file that is only being read the
sole reason to actually access the disk is when a request is
made for data currently not in the disk buffer. Your 40 byte
read is small enough to result in one disk read and then all of
the subsequent reads are satisfied by simply repositioning
within the same input buffer. Hence new data in the actual disk
file is never seen.
You can determine the disk input buffer size, by putting this
line at the start of one of your test programs:
printf("The input buffer size is %d bytes.\n", BUFSIZ);
It most likely will be 1024 bytes.
When you call fflush() (which is a bad idea because it results
in what the C Standard calls "undefined behavior" if the last
operation was a file read) it is forcing the next read to switch
modes back to read, and to refresh the buffer with a disk read.
(In theory it could also cause your hard disk to die too.)
Your other "fix", which sets your read size large enough to
cause the input buffer to be filled more than once (a 4k read
when the input buffer is 1k in size), causes (4 in this case)
new disk blocks to be read. This is actually a satisfactory
solution in that you are guaranteed that it will be portable.
You could set your read buffer to BUFSIZ+1 and guarantee that
the program would function correctly. But using setvbuf() to
simply unbuffer the input is a better idea.
Let me go though your code, and pedantically pick at it (and
others might want to pedantically pick at my comments, which you
will no doubt learn a great deal from). Then I'll include one
possible way to rewrite your examples.

You really do need some other header here.
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <string.h>

int main(void)

This isn't wrong, but it is bad style. "fd" is usually a
variable name used for "file descriptors". "fp" is commonly
used for pointers to a struct FILE. What you are using is the
later, so "fp" would be appropriate, and "fd" is just confusing.

Everyone will argue style on this, but here is how I would write
that. I see no point in opening the file read/write in this
example. Same with the "b" for binary. If you're real program
is to run on non-UNIX systems, use the "b".
#define TESTFILE "FLUSH_TEST"
if (NULL == (fp = TESTFILE, "w"))) {
fprintf(stderr, "Cannot open file %s\n", TESTFILE);
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}

Use memset() instead of bzero.

You don't need to cast functions.
> fwrite(str, sizeof(char), SZ, fd);
There is no point in ever using "sizeof(char)", because it is
defined by the C Standard to be 1, always. Perhaps the best
way to write that (and to include some error checking) is:
if (1 != (fwrite(str, sizeof str, 1, fp))) {
fprintf(stderr, "Error reading file %s\n", TESTFILE)
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
> fflush(fd);

Your main() function returns a type int, and must have
a return statement at the end.
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
>}
It would appear that you are not using the compiler's facilities
to warn you about potential problems. At a minimum you want to
use the "-Wall" option. I use a simple Makefile to test code like
the above (email me if you would like a copy), and here is how
I _normally_ invoke the compiler:
gcc -g -ansi -pedantic -Wall -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align +
-Wcast-qual -Wtraditional -Wshadow -Wnested-externs +
-Wstrict-prototypes -c foo.c
(wrapped with '+' at the end of each line to make it readable)
Anyway, here is how I would write your two programs. Some of
the difference is clearly just a matter of style, and perhaps
yours is as good as mine or the next guys.
/* foo.c -- the "server" code */
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <string.h>
#define SZ 40
#define TESTFILE "FLUSH_TEST"
int
main(void)
{
FILE *fp;
char str[SZ];
int counter = 0;
if (NULL == (fp = fopen(TESTFILE, "r"))) {
fprintf(stderr, "Cannot open file %s reading.\n", TESTFILE);
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
memset(str, 0, sizeof str);
setvbuf(fp, NULL, _IONBF, 0);
while (++counter < 15) {
rewind(fp); /* used just for demonstration purposes */
if (1 != (fread(str, sizeof str, 1, fp))) {
fprintf(stderr, "read failure on file %s\n", TESTFILE);
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
printf("Server: %s\n", str);
sleep(1);
}
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
/* foo1.c -- the "client" code */
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <string.h>
#define SZ 40
#define TESTFILE "FLUSH_TEST"
int
main(void)
{
char str[SZ];
int counter = 0;
FILE *fp;
if (NULL == (fp = fopen("FLUSH_TEST", "w"))) {
fprintf(stderr, "Cannot open file for writing.\n");
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
memset(str, 0, sizeof str);
while (++counter < 15) {
sprintf(str, "Counter: %d", counter);
fseek(fp, 0L, SEEK_SET);
if (1 != (fwrite(str, sizeof str, 1, fp))) {
fprintf(stderr, "write failure on file %s\n", TESTFILE);
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
fflush(fp);
printf("Client: %s\n", str);

thanks for the reply.
Yes I understand the security threats and linux by default won't allow
telnet as root so it does not require Disabling.
but for added knowledge, how do i enable this?
i am only telnet'ing' within my own intranet.
i still need to telnet in as user and su to root even
with /etc/hosts.allow explicitly allowing my intranet hosts.

Well, you were right Yan. I read the release note for 4.73 very carefully and
found out that my problem has to do with the .mailcap file. I had to comment
out the line:
application/x-javascript;; x-mozilla-flags=prompt
Now everything is alright. I had been on the wrong path, thinking that is had

You should decide for one of them :-)
Either:
PATH_NOW=`pwd`
...
cd $PATH_NOW
or:
pwd > PATH_NOW
...
cd `cat PATH_NOW`
The first one is the better solution, I think.

Unclear what you mean there. Try
:se textwidth=72
or
:se textwidth=0
and one of those should work. You can put the proper command in your
~/.vimrc or ~/.exrc once you've figured out which one you actually
want. Also try entering :help from command mode--the docs for vim are
pretty extensive.

Hi Folks,
I'm looking for a ->simple<- application that allows rendering 3D text
for web page titles, if possible. I'd like to create a series of images
with shading from different angles in order to build an animated GIF image
(as with gifmerge).
I've been staring at the documentation for the GIMP for quite a while and
still haven't worked out how to accomplish this, using which plug-ins,
et al. I also downloaded blender hoping that it would provide a
more straightforward solution, and couldn't get past the main screen.
I thought Perl 5 was challenging, but this graphics stuff has a learning
curve!
There was a simple 3D text rendering program for the Macintosh that I used
a few years ago that would be ideal for this project, but that was then,
this is now.
Thanks for any pointers!

You havent specified file system type.
Try with

I just went through this last night. On a RedHat 6.2 system. It's a
bunch of nested scripts, but the gist of it is that if you do not have a
.xsession file in your home directory, RH will autmatically run Gnome.
Simply create a file called .xsession, with the one line
enlightenment
in it, then exit vi (or whatever editor you use) and chmod +x .xsession.
See the X howto for a more detailed description of what to do in the
.xsession script.
Log out, log in, no more Gnome. The Gnome apps and menus are still there,
just not the bloat....
Now, does anyone know where I can find icons for Enlightenemt?
I am looking for an MS windows icons (yes I run win98 under linux),
netscape, a few others that match the E themes....

Hi there,
I'm looking for a tape emulator in C, ie something that emulate a tape
device and respond correctly to ioctl calls with mtio parameter (to do
rewind, step block, etc ...).
Thanks for any help,
Christophe
