| From: Chris.Bitmead@misys.com.au | Date: Wed, 7 Oct 1998 11:06:31 +1100 | | Off the top of my head, it seems like a very bad idea that guile sockets | are buffered by default. It seems to me like the low level un-buffered | interface should be the default, and special action should be taken to make | it buffered. | | I'm speaking from relative ignorance about this issue however. But I know | that not everybody wants buffering | and/or to use the (IMHO) horrible C buffered routines. As far as I remember (and checking the code it still seems so), sockets are not buffered by default. They do get wrapped in unbuffered stdio streams for convenience. Gary
