Redirecting stdout continously to a file
I have a C program that continously outputs info to stdout. The problem is that I am redirecting the stdout and stderr to a file and stdout is written at the end of the problem rather than continously to the file. This could be a problem if for example the program is killed and the stdout output is lost. On the other hand, stderr is written continuously to the file.

Thats the way I am doing the redirection of the stdout and stderr.

Code:
c_program > file.log 2>&1

Any ideas how can I redirect the stdout to the file continuously rather than at the end of the program?
