Hmm, I would prefer a name without 'pending'. "pending" refers to a queue of actions, which is an appropriate analogy for the output buffer but not for the input buffer. The description is: "Determines the number of bytes waiting in the input buffer of a stream." freadahead ? finbufsize ? finbufcount ? ffilledahead ? Bruno
