Synopsis: stdbuf OPTION... COMMAND COMMAND must start with the name of a program that 1. uses the ISO C 'FILE' streams for input/output (note the programs 'dd' and 'cat' don't do that), 2. does not adjust the buffering of its standard streams (note the program 'tee' is not in this category). Any additional ARGs are passed as additional arguments to the COMMAND. The program accepts the following options. Also see *note Common options::. '-i MODE' '--input=MODE' Adjust the standard input stream buffering. '-o MODE' '--output=MODE' Adjust the standard output stream buffering. '-e MODE' '--error=MODE' Adjust the standard error stream buffering. The MODE can be specified as follows: 'L' Set the stream to line buffered mode. In this mode data is coalesced until a newline is output or input is read from any stream attached to a terminal device. This option is invalid with standard input. '0' Disable buffering of the selected stream. In this mode, data is output immediately and only the amount of data requested is read from input. Note the difference in function for input and output. Disabling buffering for input will not influence the responsiveness or blocking behavior of the stream input functions. For example 'fread' will still block until 'EOF' or error, even if the underlying 'read' returns less data than requested. 'SIZE' Specify the size of the buffer to use in fully buffered mode. SIZE may be, or may be an integer optionally followed by, one of the following multiplicative suffixes: 'KB' => 1000 (KiloBytes) 'K' => 1024 (KibiBytes) 'MB' => 1000*1000 (MegaBytes) 'M' => 1024*1024 (MebiBytes) 'GB' => 1000*1000*1000 (GigaBytes) 'G' => 1024*1024*1024 (GibiBytes) and so on for 'T', 'P', 'E', 'Z', and 'Y'. Binary prefixes can be used, too: 'KiB'='K', 'MiB'='M', and so on. 'stdbuf' is installed only on platforms that use the Executable and Linkable Format (ELF) and support the 'constructor' attribute, so portable scripts should not rely on its existence. Exit status: 125 if 'stdbuf' itself fails 126 if COMMAND is found but cannot be invoked 127 if COMMAND cannot be found the exit status of COMMAND otherwise
