I was not specific enough. I intended to say that Linus code was ok.
And that if so_far -= BUFSIZE ever was something different from
zero you would need to move the read bytes too...
This code not using continue is probably easier to read...
(+ error checking...)
unsigned int so_far = 0;
for (;;) {
int bytes = read(in, buf+so_far, BUFSIZE-so_far);
if (bytes <= 0)
break;
so_far += bytes;
if (so_far == BUFSIZE) {
write(out, buf, BUFSIZE);
so_far = 0;
}
}
if (so_far)
write(out, buf, so_far);
