I think it is, but it does print an overall speed estimate at the end anyway. It's just not as conveniently formatted as `status=progress`, which gives you MB/sec (or GB/sec if appropriate), so you gotta do math to it. Here&#

ElDragonRojo had technical difficulties replying here, so he posted his reply on his blog instead. With his permission, here's what he wanted to tell you here: --- Sorry if I came across as impolite. Like I said, pardon the expression. It m

I've updated the page to version 0.3, with a fixed and improved “Best” example and some improvements to the text, based mostly on the feedback from comments here. To all who've commented so far: Thank you. In a few days, if I don't forget,

An inconvenient convenience. An excellent point, and just the sort of feedback I'd been waiting for; thank you. I'll publish the revised “Best” example shortly with fputs in place, and update the page accordingly.

Maybe so. Perhaps one example fault would be testing the result of fputs against 0 rather than EOF…

Not at all. I always welcome constructive criticism; any opportunity to improve myself, I much appreciate. For my part, any criticism I offer, including the linked article itself, I likewise intend to be constructive.

The weirdest part, looking at it five years later, is that the page shows usage of and talks about puts, while the “Best Possible” code in the zip archive uses fputs. Unless anyone can think of a reason not to use puts, I'll change the zipp

Only if both stdout and stderr are unwritable. If stdout is unwritable but stderr is writable, then writing to stderr should work. If they're both not writable, or stderr is writable but writing fails anyway, there's nothing we can do about

If we tried to pour the collective total of human stupidity (artificial or otherwise) into a single program, it would exceed the capacities of all the storage devices ever made, past, present, and future. :-) Honestly, if I were writing thi

Not so much bungled as got bitten by a change in behavior. Amusingly, “Return Values” still states the old behavior, to which standard the program is correct. I'll fix the program. By the way, the zip archives include a Makefile with correc

mturmon hasn't (so far), but a friend just passed me the link to this thread. Thanks nonetheless. I'll fix it in a few minutes.

Ah-ha! Looking at the front page of their (apparently new) wiki, I found a link to the old wiki: http://oldwiki.joyent.com/ And that wiki has up-to-date information on migrating from TextDrive to what are apparently now called “Shared S

Do we actually need to contact support to be upgraded? My understanding from the old Shared Accelerator documentation[1] (which you seem to have deleted) was that we were supposed to wait to be offered a “golden ticket”, unless we absolutel
