.SH NAME

.SH EXTRA
If MODE is \*(AqL\*(Aq the corresponding stream will be line buffered.
This option is invalid with standard input.

If MODE is \*(Aq0\*(Aq the corresponding stream will be unbuffered.

Otherwise, MODE is a number which may be followed by one of the following:

KB 1000, K 1024, MB 1000*1000, M 1024*1024, and so on for G, T, P, E, Z, Y.
In this case the corresponding stream will be fully buffered with the buffer size set to MODE bytes.

NOTE: If COMMAND adjusts the buffering of its standard streams (tee does for e.g.) then that will override corresponding settings changed by stdbuf.
Also some filters (like dd and cat etc.) don\*(Aqt use streams for I/O, and are thus unaffected by stdbuf settings.
