hi!

there is an question about the tty line (canonical) mode =E2=80=94 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=
