|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Nm
|
|
.Op Fl e Ar bufdef
|
|
.Op Fl i Ar bufdef
|
|
.Op Fl o Ar bufdef
|
|
.Op Ar command Op ...
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is used to change the initial buffering of standard input,
|
|
standard output and/or standard error streams for
|
|
.Ar command .
|
|
It relies on
|
|
.Xr libstdbuf 3
|
|
which is loaded and configured by
|
|
.Nm
|
|
through environment variables.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The options are as follows:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Ds
|
|
.It Fl e Ar bufdef
|
|
Set initial buffering of the standard error stream for
|
|
.Ar command
|
|
as defined by
|
|
.Ar bufdef
|
|
.Pq see Sx BUFFER DEFINITION .
|
|
.It Fl i Ar bufdef
|
|
Set initial buffering of the standard input stream for
|
|
.Ar command
|
|
as defined by
|
|
.Ar bufdef
|
|
.Pq see Sx BUFFER DEFINITION .
|
|
.It Fl o Ar bufdef
|
|
Set initial buffering of the standard output stream for
|
|
.Ar command
|
|
as defined by
|
|
.Ar bufdef
|
|
.Pq see Sx BUFFER DEFINITION .
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh BUFFER DEFINITION
|
|
Buffer definition is the same as in
|
|
.Xr libstdbuf 3 :
|
|
.Bl -tag -width size -offset indent
|
|
.It Qq 0
|
|
unbuffered
|
|
.It Qq L
|
|
line buffered
|
|
.It Qq B
|
|
fully buffered with the default buffer size
|
|
.It Ar size
|
|
fully buffered with a buffer of
|
|
.Ar size
|
|
bytes (suffixes 'k', 'M' and 'G' are accepted)
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh EXAMPLES
|
|
In the following example, the stdout stream of the
|
|
.Xr awk 1
|
|
command
|
|
will be fully buffered by default because it does not refer
|
|
to a terminal.
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is used to force it to be line-buffered so
|
|
.Xr vmstat 8 Ns 's
|
|
output will not stall until the full buffer fills.
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
# vmstat 1 | stdbuf -o L awk '$2 > 1 || $3 > 1' | cat -n

.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility first appeared in
|
|
.Fx 8.4 .

.An -nosplit

|
The original idea of the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
command comes from
|
|
.An Padraig Brady
|
|
who implemented it in the GNU coreutils.
|
|
.An Jeremie Le Hen
|
|
implemented it on
|
|
.Fx .
