Yes, but just for the stdio streams. So I will add a flag to the stdio stream data and fseek as needed. > However I would strongly recommend the PHP I/O system to > organize file buffering internally (something the current implementation > does partially and in quite fancy way) and to use unbuffered system I/O. Streams need to be able to wrap existing FILE*, and there was no need to buffer those. socket streams are buffered using the mechanisms in fsock.c. I'm not sure about plain file-descriptors; the current technique is to fdopen them and then use stdio streams. > If I am not clear enough - drop me a note and I will try to dig out the C > and PHP examples that reproduced the problem... Thanks - that's what I needed. --Wez.
