[strongSwan-dev] fflush() for file_logger_t?

[Andreas Steffen]

Hi,

such a flush_line flag was introduced about two weeks ago

http://git.strongswan.org/?p=strongswan.git;a=commitdiff;h=17a02ff1b0ca5cd849fb007ba82cffb82bb64781

and is available in the latest developers release

http://download.strongswan.org/strongswan-4.4.1dr1.tar.bz2

Regards

Andreas
