Hi,
I have upgraded from 2.4.2 to 2.4.5 and noticed a difference between the output of fstat() for pipes using the following testprogram:
-------- #include <stdio.h> #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/stat.h> #include <unistd.h>
main() { FILE *f; struct stat buf; int retval;
f = popen("echo -n test", "r"); retval = fstat(fileno(f), &buf); printf("Data: %d, %d\n", retval, buf.st_size );
pclose(f); } --------
Under 2.0.x, 2.2.x and 2.4.2 st_size reports the 4 bytes of the "test" string, 2.4.5 reports 0.
Please CC to my email address also, as I'm not subscribed to the list. I checked the archives and hope I didn't miss a previous discussion of this.
