Here is a working version of my slow show command with loops.
No it works on SUNS and PCS
/* slow show command by Christoph Hager */
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#define DELAY 1 /* test how fast your system is */
void do_sleep(delay)
int delay;
{
long int t;
for (t=0;t<delay*1000;t++) ;
}
main(argc, argv)
int argc;
char *argv[];
{
FILE *in;
long pos;
char ch,*line,linea[90];
int i,t,delay;
if (argc < 2 || (argc==3 && !atoi(argv[2])) || (argc==4 && !atoi(argv[2]) && !atoi(argv[3])) || argc > 4) {
printf ("Usage: %s <name of file> <number of loops>\n",argv[0]);
exit(1);
}
if (argc==3) { t=atoi(argv[2]); delay=DELAY; }
else if (argc==4) { t=atoi(argv[2]); delay=atoi(argv[3]); }
else { t=1; delay=DELAY; }
if ((in = fopen(argv[1], "r")) == NULL) {
fprintf (stderr, "Error: Can't read %s\n", argv[1]);
exit(1);
}
pos=ftell(in);
for (i=0;i<t;i++) {
while (!feof(in)) {
putc(getc(in),stdout);
do_sleep(DELAY);
}
fseek(in,pos,0);
}
}
