BUFLD(4) BUFLD(4) NAME buf_ld - buffering line discipline DESCRIPTION Buf_ld treasures up data for a while, then emits it in a burst. It is otherwise transparent. It is meant to reduce overhead of programs such as cu(1) and uucp(1) that read input from moderate-speed lines in raw or cbreak mode. It saves characters until 16 have arrived, or until 1/20 sec has passed and no more characters have come. SEE ALSO stream(4), ttyld(4)
