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.
