+.SH NAME
+stdbuf \-
+Run COMMAND, with modified buffering operations for its standard streams.
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B stdbuf
+\fI\,OPTION\/\fR... \fI\,COMMAND\/\fR
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.\" Add any additional description here
+.PP
+Run COMMAND, with modified buffering operations for its standard streams.
+.PP
+Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.

+.TP
+\fB\-e\fR, \fB\-\-error\fR=\fI\,MODE\/\fR
+adjust standard error stream buffering
+.TP
+\fB\-\-help\fR

+.TP
+\fB\-\-version\fR
+output version information and exit
+.PP
+If MODE is 'L' the corresponding stream will be line buffered.
+This option is invalid with standard input.
+.PP
+If MODE is '0' the corresponding stream will be unbuffered.
+.PP
+Otherwise MODE is a number which may be followed by one of the following:
+KB 1000, K 1024, MB 1000*1000, M 1024*1024, and so on for G, T, P, E, Z, Y.
+Binary prefixes can be used, too: KiB=K, MiB=M, and so on.
+In this case the corresponding stream will be fully buffered with the buffer
+size set to MODE bytes.
+.PP
+NOTE: If COMMAND adjusts the buffering of its standard streams ('tee' does
+for example) then that will override corresponding changes by 'stdbuf'.
+Also some filters (like 'dd' and 'cat' etc.) don't use streams for I/O,
+and are thus unaffected by 'stdbuf' settings.
+.SH EXAMPLES
+.B tail -f access.log | stdbuf -oL cut -d \(aq \(aq -f1 | uniq
+.br
+This will immediately display unique entries from access.log
+.SH BUGS
+On GLIBC platforms, specifying a buffer size, i.e., using fully buffered mode
+will result in undefined operation.
