From: duperval@ERE.Umontreal.CA (Duperval Laurent) Subject: [GCC] <stdio.h> question: What is FILE->_cnt? Date: Fri, 30 Apr 1993 03:55:30 GMT
HI all,
I'm trying to port a program to Linux and I've stumbled upon something I don't
know how to work around. The program, at some point, needs to get the value
of a the _cnt member of a FILE declaration.
I've looked at <stdio.h> on a Sun, on an SGI and on an Apollo. They all have
that member but Linux doesn't. I'm pretty sure I can do it with Linux but
since all those other systems have no comments on what _cnt is or does... I'm
stumped.
Can someone out there explain to me what _cnt stands for in FILE (on BSD
systems) and how I can get the same behavior out of Linux?
Thanx.
