Is there a standard Cygwin 'idiom' or function for dealing with this
mismatch, or should I just re-invent the wheel.
If you actually believe that you want the file without cr/nl
conversion during a read, then you want to open it in binary
mode (fopen() with "rb"
instead of "r" or open() with '| O_BINARY' appended). This
*may* be the solution in this case. Since the default mode
for opening files is always "text" but there is no difference
in format/behavior between "text" and "binary" on UNIX/Linux,
you wouldn't see an issue there.
Actually I am between a rock and hard place --
email server on one side and SpamD on the
other.
Apparently the SpamD 'protocol' requires passing the
size to SpamD.
I don't want to start re-writing code all over either
program -- I just want to talk the source email system
into telling spamd whatever it needs to know to be happy.
Currently, I am accumulating bytes, and will use that,
but I am missing something and not getting the write count
(YET.)
