ircflush(1) General Commands Manual ircflush(1)
NAME
ircflush - a little program that tricks another program in to line
buffering its output
SYNOPSIS
ircflush [program] [argumentstoprogram
DESCRIPTION
What's the deal here? Well, it's like this. First we find an open
tty/pty pair. Then we fork three processes. The first reads from
stdin and sends the info to the master device. The next process reads
from the master device and sends stuff to stdout. The last processes
is the rest of the command line arguments exec'd. By doing all this,
the exec'd process is fooled into flushing each line of output as it
occurs.
