18.3 | If you happen to be on a windowing terminal, you don't need to log in twice. You can do this experiment between two separate windows. Under Solaris, execute stty -a with standard input redirected from the terminal window running vi. This shows that vi sets MIN to 1 and TIME to 1. A call to read will wait for at least one character to be typed, but after that character is entered, read waits only one-tenth of a second for additional characters before returning. |
