ruby 1.8.3 calls clearerr before getc automatically because stdio has
non-portability about that.
ruby 1.9 has no error and EOF flag to clear because it doesn't use
stdio.

o.k. - so that should let me read past eof (multiple clients sending data down
pipe one at the time)
but i still can't write past EOF. i want to keep some output pipes open and
simply send EOF down them (close, clearerr) to indicate no more data. any
thought on that?
btw. ever looked at sfio?
cheers.

Try it in C. I think it doesn't work.

it sure doesn't seem to. but, from the man page:
...
DESCRIPTION
The function clearerr clears the end-of-file and error indicators for
the stream pointed to by stream.
The function feof tests the end-of-file indicator for the stream
pointed to by stream, returning non-zero if it is set. The end-of-file
indicator can only be cleared by the function clearerr.
...
sure sounds like it should. back to researching ;-(
regards.
