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

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