Hi! ----
[CC:'ing Garrett D'Amore <gdam...@sun.com> since he did some initial digging on this subject earlier today] Does anyone know where the default buffer size for pipes (e.g. $ ulimit -p #) is defined and how it can be changed (or turned into a system tuneable) ? The current default of 5120 bytes is AFAIK not always optimal (originally defined when systems only had single-byte locales, with the rise of multibyte locales the number of _characters_ which can be buffered shrunk a lot) and a larger buffer size may be nice... ---- Bye, Roland -- __ . . __ (o.\ \/ /.o) roland.ma...@nrubsig.org \__\/\/__/ MPEG specialist, C&&JAVA&&Sun&&Unix programmer /O /==\ O\ TEL +49 641 3992797 (;O/ \/ \O;) _______________________________________________ perf-discuss mailing list perf-discuss@opensolaris.org
