-This is a program designed to speed up writing tapes on remote tape
-drives. Requirements are shared memory and locks which normally
-means that these are supported in your kernel.
-
-[for FreeBSD, this means you MUST have a kernel with
- options SYSVSHM
- compiled in - markm]
-
-Buffer has been tested under SunOS 4.0.*, SunOS 4.1.*, Solarix, HP-UX 7.0,
-and Gould UTX 2.1A (sv universe).
-
-The program splits itself into two processes. The first process reads
-(and reblocks) from stdin into a shared memory buffer. The second
-writes from the shared memory buffer to stdout. Doing it this way
-means that the writing side effectly sits in a tight write loop and
-doesn't have to wait for input. Similarly for the input side. It is
-this waiting that slows down other reblocking processes, like dd.
-
-I run an archive and need to write large chunks out to tape regularly
-with an ethernet in the way. Using 'buffer' in a command like:
-
- tar cvf - stuff | rsh somebox "buffer > /dev/rst8"
-
-is a factor of 5 faster than the best alternative, gnu tar with its
-remote tape option:
-
- tar cvf somebox:/dev/rst8 stuff
