(Which is what you have here? I just wonder about the buffer size, as I think reading 1 by 1 is not beneficial) > + > + c = fgetc(diff); > + while (c != EOF) { > + fputc(c, f); > + c = fgetc(diff); > + } > + -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
