From 261ea4b7e0b8d979c0c91ec75251c6970caf39e2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Lohmann <20h@r-36.net> Date: Fri, 10 Jul 2015 14:15:39 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Implement chunked write to the cmdfd. This is needed so big input like a paste of several megabyte does not clog our I/O. --- st.c | 53 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-- 1 file changed, 51 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/st.c b/st.c index 17e0a65..e65e981 100644 --- a/st.c +++ b/st.c @@ -1478,8 +1478,57 @@ ttyread(void) void ttywrite(const char *s, size_t n) { - if (xwrite(cmdfd, s, n) == -1) - die("write error on tty: %s\n", strerror(errno)); + fd_set wfd; + struct timespec tv; + ssize_t r; + + /* + * Remember that we are using a pty, which might be a modem line. + * Writing too much will clog the line.
