Attachment above. :)
cc -lutf -L. -o cat cat.o util.o gives:
cat.o: In function `main':
cat.c:(.text+0x179): undefined reference to `chartorune'
cat.c:(.text+0x1dd): undefined reference to `runetochar'
cc: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
I have libutf.a in the current directory.
I can't event compile this:
#include <utf.h>
int
main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
Rune r;
chartorune(&r, "");
return 0;
}
with
cc -L. -lutf -o utf utf.c
getting
/tmp/utf-1e880d.o: In function `main':
utf.c:(.text+0x33): undefined reference to `chartorune'
cc: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

need to buffer a lot of data (i.e. until a line with no FS), or you
need to do crazy tty-rewriting ANSI escapes, which it did support but
is a massive hack.
This sounds interesting.
