110 If MODE is `0' the corresponding stream will be unbuffered.\n\

114 KB 1000, K 1024, MB 1000*1000, M 1024*1024, and so on for G, T, P, E, Z, Y.\n\
115 In this case the corresponding stream will be fully buffered with the buffer\n\
116 size set to MODE bytes.\n\
119 NOTE: If COMMAND adjusts the buffering of its standard streams (`tee' does\n\
120 for e.g.) then that will override corresponding settings changed by `stdbuf'.\n\
121 Also some filters (like `dd' and `cat' etc.) don't use streams for I/O,\n\
122 and are thus unaffected by `stdbuf' settings.\n\
