Is there a buffer size attached to stdout?
- by jameswelle
I am trying to find some information on data limits related to stdout on Windows. I can't seem to find the information on MSDN.
Is there a limit to how much data can be written to stdout? If so, what happens if the limit is reached? Is the data lost?
If stdout is redirected (for example, by launching the process from .Net and using the ProcessStartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput property), does that have any effect on how much data can be written? As I read from the stdout stream in the calling process, does that affect the limitations?
Are these limits related in any way to named pipes?
