RE: Learning C

["Bibbs, Christopher" <Christopher_Bibbs@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I must admit, stdprn and stdaux are new to me.  A quick check with my
co-workers (all of us are C or C++ programmers) and no one knows about
stdprn or stdaux.  It may be that we're all terribly ignorant *OR* it could
be one of those "standards" that really isn't.  Off the top of my head I
can't tell you how to print to a printer.  I guess you'd want to interface
with lpd, but that wouldn't be as non-trivial as a stdprn.

Subject: Learning C


Hello 
This may be a little off, but I am attempting to learn C, and I have run
into a
slight problem. The book I am using refers to 5 standard streams, stdin,
stdout, stderr, stdprn, and stdaux. The problem I am having is that, from
what I
have read in the man and info pages, is that only  the first three exist in
GNU/Linux. 
I would like to find out what to do to replicate these functions for
the examples in the book. The one that most concerns me is the stdprn,
because
that is any program that creates a print out.
Thanks in advance, and I apologize if this is beyond the scope of this list.
