Yes, that was a joke. The correct line is:

Hey, even Linus said that iproute sucks bigtime (userinterface wise) and I have to agree with him.
It remains wishful thinking. As long as no one is willing to build the extra parser for old command line recognition - and up to now, there has been verifiably no one -, nothing will happen. Efforts - like the nft-backed iptables - are few and far between.
May I inquire what you use it for? Tape drives are quite rare these days.
progress information during blockdevice-copies with dd for example :)
dd if=/dev/mapper/foo bs=256k | buffer -z 256k | netcat desthost 1234
But I agree, mbuffer could be used for this, too, but with different options etc.
I think you might be more interested in pv(1). Because that's meant to be used primarily for progress information, and not tickling out some status information out of a tape program where the user has to mess with buffer sizes (because they don't[1]). Speaking of which: socat. [1] Like those broken SO_SNDBUF=8192 recommendations for smb.conf - they just drove up the overhead. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
