From: godot@uni-paderborn.de (Frank Baumgart) Subject: how to force pipes into binary mode? 18 Apr 1998 05:37:50 -0700 Message-ID: <3537AEEE.33F3E0BC.cygnus.gnu-win32@uni-paderborn.de> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: "gnu-win32@cygnus.com" Having a workaround for the missing serial interface handling capability of cygwin32 now by having written a getty-like handler (mixing Win32 API and cygwin32) for my application I had to discover that pipes are opened in text-mode, not only in bash but generally despite CYGWIN32=tty,binmode. So, how do I force my pipes which have been created with pipe() to work in binary mode? Or better: are there any patches or even cygwin32.dll available working in binary mode generally? (pipes doing text-mode translation is so stupid!) My setup: pl19 with Sergey's latest coolview (dl'ed 17th of april), NT 4.0 SP3. The ChangeLog of winsup-980414.tar.bz2 does not show any improvements regarding this topic.
