Julia Evans on Nostr: anyway I also want to make a list of which core unix utilities buffer output to pipes ...
anyway I also want to make a list of which core unix utilities buffer output to pipes by default and which don't. so far I _think_ it’s:
programs that buffer:
- grep (which has a --line-buffered for less buffering!)
- awk
- ???
programs that don't buffer:
- tail
