- Does the standard have anything to say about wether stdin and stdout
- are opened to a file stream opened in binary mode?
-
- Would a program which wrote binary data to standard output, or read it
- from standard input, be complying?
-
- The reason for asking is that many programs which were developed for
- UNIX, which do this, fail on systems where binary and text mode for file
- streams are not identical. I'd like to know wether they fail in a
- standard - conforming or a non - standard - conforming way :-)
