AP_Filesystem: make fgets() much more efficient
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
normally fgets is on a buffered FILE handle. For AP_Filesystem we use
an unbuffered file descriptor. This means we were reading one byte at
a time from the file

this uses lseek to make fgets() much more efficient by reading the max
buffer size at a time in the file
