| Summary | 0000744: tr works awkwardly on a terminal | ||||||||
| Description |
Not a bug per se, but an annoyance: tr does not work interactively with line-buffered input from a terminal. Instead it waits to output anything until its output buffer is full. Writing output after each successful return from read would make it much more usable and should not affect performance when reading from a file/continuous stream. SuSv3 says nothing about how it should behave, so this is purely a usability concern, not a compliance issue. BTW (mildly related): tr does not check for EINTR when read returns. Not sure if this can happen or not.. |
