I am trying to learn how the (Korn) shell is organized, so I put some
printf statements in many places. They give a lot of output on STDOUT ,
so in order to be able to read it, I pipe it to a tee command which stores
the output. I have found that the output pauses when the file has 16384
(or thereabouts) bytes in it, sometimes it goes to 32768 (or thereabouts)
bytes in it, and a couple of times it has even gone up to 65536 (or
thereabouts) bytes. This behavior makes me think of buffered output, but
(with some checking via long files) neither pipe nor tee have buffered
output, and so I have been told by a Bell Labber. Anybody know how I can
easily change the
STDOUT to be unbuffered?
Please respond directly to me as I have several hundred unread letters
in my Bulk Mail folder.
