PROGRAM:

NAME


readbuffer - read input from devices which don't like constant stopping and starting

SYNOPSIS


readbuffer [--mlock] [size]

DESCRIPTION


readbuffer reads data on standard input and writes it to standard output. It will
internally buffer up to size megabytes of data, and will only read more data when the
buffer is at least 75% empty.

size may also be suffixed with m, k, or b to indicate that it is in megabytes (2^20),
kilobytes (2^10) or bytes.

It is intended for use in situations where many small reads are undesirable for
performance reasons, e.g. tape drives.

OPTIONS


--mlock
Calls mlock(2) to lock the buffer into memory.
