Keywords: buffered I/O setbuf
Summary: setbuf(3)

'man 3 setbuf' ...
setbuf(fd, (char *) NULL); will set input and output to be
unbuffered.  It is not clear whether the 4.2-only functions
setbuffer() (to change buffer size) and setlinebuf() work
on input as well as output.  The former is documented to do
so; the latter is documented only to work on stderr and stdout.
Be bold.  Experiment a little.
