And was is the big problem anyway?

no.

at finishing reading

that’s the problem

its imho so

.. but explain ..

say

Well if EOF is sent then you will know

C doesn’t know when the stream ends

It should know that

yes eof is sent

by end of pipe

Yep

if you read 1024 characters at once that’s a problem then

but else i select, and react, and math lens together

you have to check each 1024 characters if there’s an EOF

Why?

no read

select

You don’t have to do that, function already sends you how much it read

afik read returns read elements,

i mean count

len

Yep

oh, huh

magic

luul

we’re on it

Without this function streams would be impossible to handle

i just check for NUL XD

with biggest luck i wont skip the idea its just my .c basics are crapp

You just don’t know it before hand

ye

becomes known at processing

And was is the big problem anyway?

so the gist is: “ask for 1024 bytes to read()… then check how much was copied, and then fwrite up to max(1024, how_much_was_read)”
