Message: [QUOTE="Rouben Rostamian, post: 1682910"] Consider the following demo program: #include <stdio.h> int main(void) { unsigned char c; for (c=0; c<15; c++) putchar(c); return 0; } As is, the output of the program is platform-dependent. For instance, in the UNIX environment, it puts 15 characters to stdout. Under windows it puts out at least 16, because c=10 gets translated to newline+carriage return. This brings me to: Question: Is it possible to close stdout then reopen it in binary mode in a platform-independent way? If that were possible, then the binary-mode output of the program would be the same on all platforms. The purpose of my real program (not this demo,) is to act as a filter from stdin to stdout, therefore fopen(filename, "wb") is of not much help. [/QUOTE]
