I can read bytes from a FileStream with stream.ReadByte () but that does not
handle stdin. I can read from stdin with System.Console. In using
reader.Read() but it is 6x slower.
So how do I read bytes from stdin efficiently?

Jon,
The comparison to reading from a file is comparing apples to oranges.
The mechanism might be the same, but you are in fact reading from two
separate sources which have different performance profiles.
I don't know if you can make it any faster, but you can try calling
GetStdHandle through the P/Invoke layer to see if you can get any better
results.

Well, one problem is that Console.In doesn't handle bytes - it handles
*characters*. I would be somewhat wary of trying to pipe non-textual
information via Console.In. There may well be a sure-fire way of
getting it to work (and Console.OpenSta ndardInput would be my first
port of call) but I'd still be somewhat wary.
Is this in aid of optimising the sumcol (or sumfile, the name seems to
vary) benchmark?

That is exactly the answer I was looking for, thank you.

Hi,
I have a program which takes the output filename argument from stdin.
Once the program knows the output filename, it tries to open it.
If the output file exists, the program asks the user to confirm
whether he really wants to overwrite the existing output file.
The problem is that the second read from stdin, to obtain the user
response whether to overwrite the existing output file, never
waits for the user's response. It's as if a...

I create a new filestream and then i move i use the readbyte function
and the position function when required. These seem to be cripplingly
slow for some reason. This readbyte maybe is the problem. Do i need to
use a binaryReader with this in order for it to be faster?. I am
manipulating a compressed image file. Because i am reading in so many
bytes it makes it inefficient. Could somebody have a suggestion as how
to remedy this problem.

I'm new to C#, so please forgive me if this is elementary. I have a file
that consists of, say, one thousand (4-byte) floating points, and I'd like to
read it into an array of floats as efficiently as possible. In C/C++ I'd
simply malloc an array of bytes, read them into my allocated buffer, and cast
the pointer to the buffer as a pointer to a float. In C#, I can read in the
array of bytes like so:

Hi folks.
I'm somewhat new to *nix programming and just ran into a problem. I have
to take user input from the terminal but like to constrain that to some

scanf would do, but I don't like the fact that wrong ('disallowed')
characters are visible and all that stuff. For that I need unbuffered
input. Since there seems to be no atomic function to do that I tried to
