hi!

there is an question about the tty line (canonical) mode — the internal implementation is using 2k buffer, but the related (public) constants are claiming buffer size about 255 chars. Why it is so - any hints about the background there?

#define MAX_CANON                 255   /* max bytes in term canon input line */
#define MAX_INPUT                 255   /* max bytes in terminal input */

rgds,
toomas
