Hi again...
int fd; /* RS232 serial link */
int fdp; /* file descriptor for a regular file */
struct stat stat;
size_t bytes = 0;
void *buffer; /* buffer, will be allocated */
...
while (bytes < stat.st_size) {
ret = read(fdp, buffer + bytes, stat.st_size - bytes);
if (ret == -1) {
perror("read");
return -1;
}
ret = write(fd, buffer + bytes, ret);
if (ret == -1) {
perror("write");
return -1;
}
bytes += ret;
progress = (int) (bytes * 100) / stat.st_size;
printf("\rcompleted: %i%%", progress);
fflush(stdout);
}
...
Then i see printf() never output the message until the loop has ended...
'fdp' is a file descriptor to a local file, i send it through a serial
connection (RS232),
i use a serial connection so i can practice Linux's File I/O operation
in real world ;p
the receiver can output the progress's message, but the sender (the
above code) could not...
this is the receiver codes:
...
while (bytes < size) {
ret = read(fd, buffer + bytes, size - bytes);
if (ret == -1) {
perror("read");
return -1;
}
ret = write(fdp, buffer + bytes, ret);
if (ret == -1) {
perror("write");
return -1;
}
bytes += ret;
progress = (int) (bytes * 100) / size;
printf("\rcompleted: %i%%", progress); /* THIS NEVER OUTPUT,
UNTIL LOOP END! */
fflush(stdout);
}
...
