Re: Buffered reading of stream files

Simon, you are correct that I am currently using the open(), read() and close() Unix APIs.

Whether you do your own buffering or use the OS buffering you'll still have to deal with incomplete data where you have part of the desired data in the buffer but the buffer is full. Dealing with this situation may be easier when you control the buffering.

That's a good point, which I realized on the drive home last night. I think I came up with a reasonable solution using fread() which will be simpler than handling all of the buffering. I'm planning to put together a prototype and compare with my existing routine today.
