Io.write with buffer size?

Ruby
1

Hello all,

is there a way to do an io.write with a certain buffer size ?

I need to do the same as somebody else did in TcL like this:

fconfigure $file -buffersize 16 -buffering none -encoding binary
-translation binary

puts -nonewline $file [binary format “h*” $string]

Thanks

Not as such I am afraid.

If you do a write of your data having the size you need and flush the
stream, is that not good enough?
If I understand correctly you have alas no control over the OS buffer of
the
underlying stream. flushing the stream empties the Ruby buffer but not
more.

Cheers
