Message-ID: <2527@sri-arpa.UUCP> Date: Fri, 24-Jun-83 14:25:45 EDT Article-I.D.: sri-arpa.2527 Posted: Fri Jun 24 14:25:45 1983 Date-Received: Sun, 26-Jun-83 22:18:26 EDT Lines: 12 From: Doug Gwyn (VLD/VMB)I assume you are on a 4.1?BSD system. You must gobble up the input in a loop to simulate "flush input only" unless you have one of the newer (4.1c for example) BSDs in which case: int arg = 1; /* 1 is "FREAD" bit */ ioctl( fd, TIOCFLUSH, &arg ); which flushes input only.
