796 /* Why are (OUTSIZE - 1 + INSIZE * 4 + LINE_COUNTER_BUF_LEN)
797 bytes allocated for the output buffer?
799 A test whether output needs to be written is done when the input
800 buffer empties or when a newline appears in the input. After
801 output is written, at most (OUTSIZE - 1) bytes will remain in the
802 buffer. Now INSIZE bytes of input is read. Each input character
803 may grow by a factor of 4 (by the prepending of M-^). If all
804 characters do, and no newlines appear in this block of input, we
805 will have at most (OUTSIZE - 1 + INSIZE * 4) bytes in the buffer.
806 If the last character in the preceding block of input was a
807 newline, a line number may be written (according to the given
808 options) as the first thing in the output buffer. (Done after the
809 new input is read, but before processing of the input begins.)
810 A line number requires seldom more than LINE_COUNTER_BUF_LEN
811 positions. */
