The number of bytes that can be written to the pipe may be less (sometimes substantially less) than the nominal capacity. This was confirmed with some testing. For example, when writing 4097-byte blocks to a pipe with 65536 byte capacity, only 45066 bytes could be written (i.e., 20470 bytes less than 65536).

README
This package contains Linux man pages for sections 1 through 8. Some more information is given in the 'man-pages-x.y.Announce' file. Installing and uninstalling =========================== "make install" will copy these man pages to /usr/share/man/man[1-8]. To install to a path different from /usr, use "make install prefix=/install/path". "make remove" or "make uninstall" will remove any man page in this distribution from its destination. Use with caution, and remember to use "prefix" if desired, as with the "install" target. "make" or "make all" will perform "make uninstall" followed by "make install". Man page overlap and duplication ================================ Note that sometimes these pages are duplicates of pages also distributed in other packages. This has been reported about: man page also found in ------------------------------------- resolver.3 bind-utils, bind9utils resolv.conf.5 " passwd.5 shadow, passwd mailaddr.7 ? Copyrights ========== See the 'man-pages-x.y.Announce' file. Homepage ======== For much more about the Linux man-pages project, see http://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/index.html.
