ircflush(1)                            General Commands Manual                           ircflush(1)



NAME
       ircflush -  a little program that tricks another program in to line buffering its output

SYNOPSIS
       ircflush [program] [argumentstoprogram

DESCRIPTION
       What's  the  deal  here?  Well, it's like this.  First we find an open tty/pty pair.  Then we
       fork three processes.  The first reads from stdin and sends the info to  the  master  device.
       The  next process reads from the master device and sends stuff to stdout.  The last processes
       is the rest of the command line arguments exec'd.  By doing all this, the exec'd  process  is
       fooled into flushing each line of output as it occurs.

OPTIONS
