Clearing file object buffers

In my code i have setup sys.stdout and sys.stderr as file objects so that i
can easily track whats going on during the course of my program. So far its
proving useful but the objects seem to be buffering any text supplied to
their write() functions and when i hit an error condition and have to exit
early they fail to write and i'm left with empty files.

Is there any way to force the file objects to flush the buffer to file on
disc?

thanks,

fileobject.flus h() will do the trick.

python's -u command-line switch during debugging can be useful.

Suppose I'm using stdio calls to write to a disk file. One possible error condition is no space on file system or even (in unix environment) a ulimit of 0 bytes. Which calls would be expected to return error codes for such conditions? Would it happen on the writes (fwrite, fprintf, fputs ...), or as they actually write to io buffers, might the errors not occur until the data is flushed or the file is closed?

Does anyone know a standard (or supported on Linux, Mac, Win32) way to clear a read stream buffer (standard ANSI C file stream)? I would even settle for a platform specific way of doing it. And no, I know I can use direct low level I/O or non-buffered to do reads, but for my app, I need the buffering. I can implement myself, but this is not optimal. Example, I open a read only file using fopen(). I periodically know

Hi, I am new to the c-programming language and at the moment I am struggling with the following: I want to read a file using fread() and then put it in to memory. I want to use a (singel) linked list to continousely (dynamically) free up more memory when needed and put the buffers with the data of the file on a sort of stack. The problem is that i have no idea how to do this.

Hi Generally, FileInfo fi = new FileInfo(path); long size = fi.Length; gets you the length of a file in bytes. However, when copying files, even while the copy operation is still in progress, the filesize, as indicated in Windows Explorer or derived with the above two lines of code, will be the size of the file once the copy operation has completed.

Hi I'm running an ASP.NET web application under IIS. I'm inserting a cache object with a file based CacheDependency. I've noticed that when the file changes the Cache object is not always immediately invalidated. e.g. Cache.Insert("myobj", data, new CacheDependency(filePath)); When I make a change to the file 'filePath' and call the object from the cache it is not null. I'm disposing of the FileStream object immediately
