114 If MODE is `0' then corresponding stream will be unbuffered.\n\

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