From: Maciej Żenczykowski <maze@xxxxxxxxxx> Ensures that each logged line is flushed to stdout after it's written, and not held in any buffer. Places to modify found via: git grep -C5 'fputs[(]buffer, stdout[)];' On Android iptables-restore -v is run as netd daemon's child process and fed actions via pipe. '#PING' is used to verify the child is still responsive, and thus needs to be unbuffered. Luckily if you're running iptables-restore in verbose mode you probably either don't care about performance or - like Android - actually need this. Test: builds, required on Android for ip6?tables-restore netd subprocess health monitoring.
