As David points out, sort won't terminate until it has finished reading its input. David Lee wrote: > The sort program is waiting for an EOF (^D). Ctrl-D isn't EOF unless you're reading from a terminal. The TTY driver "sends EOF" (i.e. causes read() to return a zero count) when you press Ctrl-D (by default) if the driver is in canonical mode. Ctrl-D doesn't have any significance in other contexts. -- Glynn Clements <glynn@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-c-programming" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
