[Live-devel] Non blocking read in ByteStreamFileSource

[Kumar Sambhav]

Hi Ross,

I am using Linux.

Before going to read function, the program blocks at ByteStreamFileSource::createNew when it tries to do OpenInputFile on a pipe. 
I was not able to find any options to call fopen in non blocking mode. 


Regards,
Sambhav
