buffer: General purpose buffer program

Name:	buffer	Vendor:	RazorsEdge Packaging <http://rpm.razorsedge.org/>
Version:	1.19	License:	GPL
Release:	8.el5.re	URL:	http://sunsite.org.uk/public/public/packages/buffer/

Summary

This is a program designed to speed up writing tapes on remote tape drives. After startup it 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.
