set_file_buffer --
Sets file buffering on the given file pointer
Description
int set_file_buffer (int fp, int buffer)
Output using fwrite() is normally buffered at
8K. This means that if there are two processess wanting to write
to the same output stream (a file), each is paused after 8K of
data to allow the other to write. set_file_buffer()
sets the buffering for write operations on the given filepointer
fp to buffer bytes.
If buffer is 0 then write operations are
unbuffered. This ensures that all writes with
fwrite() are completed before other processes
are allowed to write to that output stream.
The function returns 0 on success, or EOF if the request cannot
be honored.
The following example demonstrates how to use
set_file_buffer() to create an unbuffered stream.
Example 1. set_file_buffer() example
$fp=fopen($file, "w");
if($fp){
set_file_buffer($fp, 0);
fputs($fp, $output);
fclose($fp);
}
