IMHO, it does send the data to the buffer. Due to the fork, the new task(child) gets a copy of the buffer (which already contains the 'Hello World!' string). This(fork()) is where the duplication occurs. Further printfs in the two tasks lead to flushing of their respective buffers to the console. With a '\n' after 'Hello World!', the child would get an empty buffer to begin with.
Yeah, thats right. The buffer is filled but not flushed. After the fork, the entire address space (and hence the buffer) gets replicated and is flushed after the second the printf in both processes. -aditya -- ______________________________________________________________________ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List: (plug-mail@plug.org.in) List Information: http://plug.org.in/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/plug-mail Send 'help' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for mailing instructions.
