Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Generating hexadecimal data and printing directly on the terminal

[James Cameron]

You're using bash, or another shell, to manage your interprocess
communications.

You might use shell commands to close or redirect the stdout file
descriptor, bind another file descriptor to stdout, write your data to
that file descriptor, and so the pipe will pass that data alone rather
than anything emitted by other blocks or GNU Radio scheduler.

Effectively using mkfifo in bash.
