Subject: [9fans] writing to ctl using fprint and write
Date: Thu, 29 Jul 2010 06:02:42 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <0522651bfa90c83ddb192a77ddaccb78@swcp.com> (raw)

I'm working on some regression testing for my GSoC project and am trying
to understand why

  ctl = open(path("ctl"),ORDWR|OAPPEND);
  ts = "chatty9p 1"; // or some other message

  n = fprint(ctl, ts);

succeeds, while

  n = write(ctl,ts,sizeof(ts));

fails.

Can someone explain?
