The real reason for not using that format is that 64 bits can be conveniently formatted without having to shift around the mantissa, and having to handle the shifted out bits specially. For IEEE quad with its 112 bits of mantissa and the hidden bit, this format is again more convenient. -- Andreas Schwab, sch...@linux-m68k.org GPG Key fingerprint = 7578 EB47 D4E5 4D69 2510 2552 DF73 E780 A9DA AEC1 "And now for something completely different."

The outer timeout instance already runs in its own process group curtesy of the parent shell (and thus remains in that group), but for the inner instance the process group no longer matches the terminal process group, and thus the children cannot read from the TTY.

I am using split command to split a large file and later I am renaming file.
PFB command.
What does PFB mean?
find . -size +1000 -exec split -l 1 {\} {}-new \;
This may find the newly created files, splitting them again if any of
the produced files is bigger then 1000 bytes. You should produce the
output in a separate directory not located below the current one.

My best guess is that glibc might have some logic that, if stdin is a tty, automatically flushes stdout any time the program blocks on stdin.
