Hello everyone,
Can somebody tell me if there is a function or a way to flush a buffer to a file, using a file descriptor instead of a stream. I know that it can be done using fflush() with a stream, but we have a program that is using sopen with the files and therefore using file descriptors. We would like to flush a buffer to that file. Any suggestions????????????
Thanks,
Kendal
Check your compilers documentation. Post your compilers details here if you don't get anywhere.
When all else fails, read the instructions.
If you're posting code, use code tags: [code] /* insert code here */ [/code]
i though interger file descriptors were unbuffered, I never worked with sopen though.
I am sorry. I usually post all of my details. I forgot this time. We are using DevC++ which, if I am correct, uses the MingW gcc3.2 compiler. So far from looking I have found nothing. I figured that if a function exists out there, somebody on this forum might know. I appreciate all the help that is provided here.
Thanks again,
Kendal
Maybe you can use fdopen to open a stream on the descriptor, then flush that instead.
Or maybe you have sync or fsync at your disposal.
