could not redirect output of idevicesyslog well
Reported by viewrain | December 20th, 2011 @ 10:04 AM
idevicesyslog goes well when I run it directly. But when I redirect its output, like "idevicesyslog > /tmp/log". It can only redirect the front part of output (say, 28672 byte) and cannot append the rest output any more.
So I cannot get the device's syslog automatically. I also wrote the code to run the command "idevicesyslog -u " and get the output, still only get the front part (32768 byte).
Why does it happen? Would you please help to fix it? Or we could not get the device's syslog automatically :(

I took a look at the source code. I found it was the problem of the buffering of stdout.
In tools/idevicesyslog.c, I add one line "setvbuf(stdout, NULL, _IONBF, 0);" at the beginning of the main function to disable the buffering of stdout.
Then the new binary could redirect the output normally when I run "idevicesyslog > /tmp/log".Would you please modify the code or is there a better solution?
Thanks a lot~

- State changed from “new” to “resolved”
- Tag set to “idevicesyslog”
I committed a fix using fflush to write out the buffer immediately after the fwrite call. This should fix the issue.
