  1. #Unix & #Linux #CLI Buffering Tips

    I recently posted about some pragmatic differences between #stdbuf from #GNU #coreutils and the #unbuffered command from the #Expect tool examples. Both were installed and tested using #Homebrew on #macOS. The TL;DR is that `unbuffered` is easier and works on #stdin, while `stdbuf` gives you more options for each separate I/O stream.
