Hi all, I tried to use fflush(stdin) in gcc as I used to in other compilers. But It didn't clear my buffer so I am wondering how can I clear the stdin buffer in GCC. I tried using lseek but got -EPIPE (as tty devices doesn't support lseek operation). Thanx in advance.

If it's a tty, you may want to use tcflush(fd, TCIFLUSH); Regards, Tobi
