>Description:
misc/buffer was a useful port, at least for me. Most FreeBSD hackers
recommend team instead, but I do prefer the old pal buffer.
Mark Murray removed this port (he was the previous maintainer) for
lack of distsites. I revived the port using Usenet archives.
The Makefile is a mess, and portlint refuses to accept it, but I could
not find a better way. If the FreeBSD team does not accept this
humble contribution, I will still continue using it in my systems, as
I have been doing since the removal of the old port. It's life. :)

XThis is a program designed initially to speed up writing tapes on remote
Xtape drives, but may be used as a general pipe buffering utility.
XNote: You must have SYSVSHM support in FreeBSD kernel.
X
XThe program splits itself into two processes. The first process reads
X(and reblocks) from stdin into a shared memory buffer. The second
Xwrites from the shared memory buffer to stdout. Doing it this way
Xmeans that the writing side effectly sits in a tight write loop and
Xdoesn't have to wait for input. Similarly for the input side. It is
Xthis waiting that slows down other reblocking processes, like dd.
