Full Discussion: dynamically convert last binary byte
Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting dynamically convert last binary byte Post 302352164 by maloe on Thursday 10th of September 2009 02:34:13 PM

Output example:
Code:
0000010    f708    b34c    f708    b34c    f708    ad52    f708    ad52
0000020    f708    af50    f708    b14e    f708    b34c    f708    b748
0000030    f708    af50    f708    ad52    f708    af50    f708    b34c
0000040    f708    b34c    f708    ed12    f708    f50a    f708    f10e

Output is line by line. If every 2 seconds 4 new bytes "xxxx xxxx" are appended to the binary file, then every new output line is printed after 8 seconds.

But what I need is the "xxxx xxxx" immediately. So it should be somthing like
Code:
...
f708    b34c
f708    ed12
f708    f50a
f708    f10e

every 2 seconds

unicode_start

UNICODE_START(1)					      General Commands Manual						  UNICODE_START(1)

NAME

       unicode_start - put keyboard and console in unicode mode

SYNOPSIS

       unicode_start [font [umap]]

DESCRIPTION

       The unicode_start command will put the keyboard and console into Unicode (UTF-8) mode.

       For  the  keyboard  this  means that one can attach 16-bit U+xxxx values to keyboard keys using loadkeys(1), and have these appear as UTF-8
       input to user programs.	Also, that one can type hexadecimal Alt-xxxx using the numeric keypad, and again produce UTF-8.

       For the console this means that the kernel expects UTF-8 output from user programs, and displays the output accordingly.

       The parameter font is a font that is loaded. It should have a built-in Unicode map, or, if it hasn't, such a map can be given explicitly as
       second parameter.  When no font was specified, the current font is kept.

NOTE

       Unicode mode is a parameter with a value per virtual console.  However, usually the font and keymap is common to all consoles.

SEE ALSO

       dumpkeys(1), kbd_mode(1), loadkeys(1), unicode_stop(1), utf-8(7), setfont(8)
