+When the first character is written to or read from a file
+after it has been opened by "fopen()", a buffer is obtained
+from the system if required and assigned to it. Setbuf may be
+used to forestall this by assigning a user buffer to the file.
+</para>
+<para>
+Setbuf must be used after the file has been opened and before
+any I/O has taken place.
+</para>
+<para>
+The buffer must be of sufficient size and a value for a
+manifest constant, BUFSIZ, is defined in the header file for
+use in declarations.
+</para>
+<para>
+If the "buffer" argument is NULL (0), the file becomes unbuffered
+and characters are read or written singly.
+</para>

+NOTE that the standard error output is unbuffered and the
