comedi buffer flags

When streaming data with cmd, is there any way to check if the comedi buffer
is getting close to full/half or not? Is there a way to set up a flag?

 From searching around in the mailing list archive and the documents, I
understand that the TRIG_RT flag can be set but you have to have
RTAI/RTLinux. I am reading out data at 1.25MS/s from my ni-pci-16-e-1 card
fine with a non-real time kernel, and also doing some substantial processing
to the data. I have my comedi read buffer set to 4096KB.
I would basically like to prevent the broken pipe error from occuring.
Should  I be looking into realtime kernels? Is there a way to monitor the
comedi buffer without it?

Thanks,
Naoko Kurahashi
