In the little fix I came up with for psql last night, I need to be able
to ensure that something sent to a pipe (and then to stdout) completes
before issuing the prompt directly to stdout.
I did this with: "system ('sleep 1');", but I'm fairly sure that is
not portable nor does it ENSURE completion.
What's the proper way to do this? And what's a good book on writing
portable code?
