Hi,

I was wondering when a new release for windows is going to be built with the -forceflush functionality ?

If it is not going to be done any time soon, is there instructions on  how to build it on windows?

 
Regards,

Also, just to follow up and by more clear, iperf2 uses fflush() after
newlines in order to support line buffering
<https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/Buffering-Concepts.html>
over network pipes. This is particularly useful when iperf is running
remotely over ssh and the timeliness of interval reports back to the ssh
client is required.

hmm, I didn't think iperf3 was supported on windows. Iperf2 flushes
lines and doesn't buffer so it works over pipes without this option.
Technically we (ESnet) don't support it on Windows. There are some
users in the community who have made it work and who supply executables
to be used on Windows (someone from Microsoft even chimed on a CYGWIN
related issue in some of said executables).
I agree that the OP should give iperf2 a try, unless there's some "must
have" feature in iperf3.
