[comp.unix.i386] FIONREAD on Interactive

perand@nada.kth.se (Per Andersson) (12/19/89)

Hi.

I've got a problem - while attempting to port a package from BSD Unix to
Interactive 2.0.1 I ran into a function ( ? ) called FIONREAD. Does anybody
know how to emulate / replace this ? It seems to retrieve the number of 
unread bytes on a stream or something like this.

This is a definition for ioctl() that exists in Berkely Unix, but not
in System V.  The common work-around can be found in the Kermit sources.
