[Dnsmasq-discuss] dnsmasq end of cache dump

[Shankara Ramamurthy]

Hi,
I'm currently running dnsmasq v2.79 and have redirected logging to a named pipe and I periodically send SIGUSR1 from my application to get a dump of the cache contents. When the cache is dumped, is there a mechanism to indicate that the cache dump is complete or some indication on the number of cache entries about to be dumped? 
Thanks & Regards,-Shankara R.

There's no end-of-dump marker; I guess your application was never
envisaged. A patch to add one would be simple.

As a woraround: a cache dump always _starts_ with the line

time <number>

so if you dumped the cache twice, the start of the second dump would
serve as a unique marker for the end of the first.

Cheers,

Simon.
