Hello all.
Is it normal that i can't see any output of cat /dev/mouse | xd?
I see cat /dev/mouse output, cat anyfile | xd output, but no cat /dev/mouse | xd
output.

xd does output buffering. only when the buffer is full or it gets
to the end of the file (never in case of /dev/mouse) it writes to
the output.
you can disable buffering with the -u flag, see xd(1) in the
manual.

Thank you! I completely forgot about buffering.
