The program 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.","active":true,"categories":["sysutils"],"maintainers":[],"variants":[],"dependencies":[{"type":"build","ports":["clang-9.0"]}],"depends_on":[]}
