NAME
buf_ld - buffering line discipline
DESCRIPTION
This stream module treasures up data for a while, then emits it in a
burst. It is otherwise transparent. It intends to reduce overhead of
programs such as cu(1) and uucp(1) that read input from moderate-speed
lines in raw or cbreak mode.
It saves characters until 16 are accumulated or 1/20 sec has passed
without seeing a character.

BUGS
One supposes that the parameters should be settable.
