Hi all friendz,
this question is in ref of 1.3 program of maurice j. bach,
it is a simple copy program, which uses the read and write system call, i just want to know that will this program copy binary also.
if you are confused about code, consider a simplest copy program which uses read and write system call...
thankx in advance
There is no difference in binary and ascii data in Unix. The only difference in the DOS world is that there is an extra \013 at the end of DOS lines.
so you mean it will copy the binary file perfectly...Originally Posted by Kennedy
plz reply
There is no such animal in Unix. There is only file. . . not binary file. . . not text file. As to whether it will "copy the binary file perfectly" I couldn't say, I don't see the code.
Mmm, 5 seconds to compile and try to see if it will copy itself, or several hours arguing over it via a message board.
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
sssshhhhh!!!!
don't disturb the humourous thread, we do need something to lighten the mood occasionally in life.
