Maybe you are referring to the VMIN/VTIME experiments that I mentioned a few posts ago? For what it's worth, the reason I applied these to the master end was because the only useful explanation of VMIN/VTIME I could find so far -- http://www.unixwiz.net/techtips/termios-vmin-vtime.html -- makes it sound like it is a setting applicable to reading, not writing, and since in my example the master is what does the reading, that's where I applied it.

Yes, sorry it wasn't clear.

The ttread that implements the VMIN/VTIME is only called from l_read through the linesw line discipline table, which is only called from ptsd_read() (cloning pty slave side) or ptsread() (non-cloning pty slave side).

I see, that makes sense. All sorted now at my end. Thanks for your help and patience, much appreciated. -Julian _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
