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. :) >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: Here's the shar file, as requested in the handbook: # This is a shell archive.

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.
