Categories: coding, erlang

Buffering in pipes

Categories: coding, ind, tty, unix

I'm trying to force a program not to buffer its output to stdout. Any program, all programs. It can't involve changing the source code or depending on weird or unportable stuff.

It should be possible. It seems like I'm missing something obvious, but I can't figure out what.
