NAME¶
ircflush - a little program that tricks another program in to line buffering its
output
SYNOPSIS¶
ircflush [program] [argumentstoprogram
DESCRIPTION¶
What's the deal here? Well, it's like this. First we find an open tty/pty pair.
Then we fork three processes. The first reads from stdin and sends the info to
the master device. The next process reads from the master device and sends
stuff to stdout. The last processes is the rest of the command line arguments
exec'd. By doing all this, the exec'd process is fooled into flushing each
line of output as it occurs.
