SYNOPSIS
unbuffer
program
[
args

INTRODUCTION
unbuffer
disables the output buffering that occurs when program output
is redirected.
For example, suppose you are watching the output from a fifo by running it
through od and then more.
od -c /tmp/fifo | more
You will not see anything until a full page
of output has been produced.
You can disable this automatic buffering as follows:
unbuffer od -c /tmp/fifo | more
BUGS
The man page is longer than the program.
