[Mono-list] Problem redirecting stdout

[David Morán]

Solved, I need to flush stdlib buffer stream, this is a example code:

                int ofd;
                int[] p = new int[2];
                char* b = stackalloc char[256];

                // Duplicating output stdout
                ofd = Syscall.dup(1);
                // Creating a pipe
                Syscall.pipe(p);
                // Overwriting stdout with pipe output
                Syscall.dup2(p[1], 1);

                // Calling external code that prints something
                holamundo();

                // Flushing stdlib buffers
                Stdlib.fflush(Stdlib.stdout);
                // Reading pipe input descriptor
                Syscall.read(p[0], b, 256);
                // Restoring stdout
                Syscall.dup2(ofd, 1);


Thanks everybody
