Wow, that is rather weird. You might ask on the darwin-userlevel mailing list here, which is all about that level of stuff. > Background: I have a third party library (that I am not allowed to change) > that logs to a file in Debug mode.

The library provides an API to set the file path (unfortunately > not a file handle or something else). As a workaround you could run a background thread that opens that log file, waits for its EOF to increase, and then echoes the appended data to stderr. (Basically like ‘tail -n’.) —Jens_______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
