Today, is not my day. The above is a misleading. It probably only works after
changing the buffering mode to unbuffered (and because the Xboard protocol is
line bufferer, also linebuffered mode works).
void sys_init(void)
{
static char buf[BUFSIZ];
/* set stdin to line buffered */
setvbuf(stdin, buf, _IOLBF, sizeof buf);
/* ... */
}
Anyway, I prefer this to using read and write, because it restricts the non
Standard functions to select() (which is encapsulated in one system specific
function), and because the Standard functions are a bit less work to use.
