    There's no standard way to do that. What compiler/OS are you using?
    Naturally I didn't feel inspired enough to read all the links for you, since I already slaved away for long hours under a blistering sun pressing the search button after typing four whole words! - Quzah

    When all else fails, read the instructions.
