/*
* If the output file descriptor is connected to a tty (the typical case) it
* will probably be line-buffered. Keith Bostic pointed out that we don't want
* this; it hoses people running over networks by forcing out a bunch of small
* packets instead of one big one, so screen updates on ptys look jerky.
* Restore block buffering to prevent this minor lossage.
*
* The buffer size is a compromise. Ideally we'd like a buffer that can hold
* the maximum possible update size (the whole screen plus cup commands to
* change lines as it's painted). On a 66-line xterm this can become
* excessive. So we min it with the amount of data we think we can get through
* two Ethernet packets (maximum packet size - 100 for TCP/IP overhead).
*
* Why two ethernet packets? It used to be one, on the theory that said
* packets define the maximum size of atomic update. But that's less than the
* 2000 chars on a 25 x 80 screen, and we don't want local updates to flicker
* either. Two packet lengths will handle up to a 35 x 80 screen.
*
* The magic '6' is the estimated length of the end-of-line cup sequence to go
* to the next line. It's generous. We used to mess with the buffering in
* init_mvcur() after cost computation, but that lost the sequences emitted by
* init_acs() in setupscreen().
*
* "The setvbuf function may be used only after the stream pointed to by stream
* has been associated with an open file and before any other operation is
* performed on the stream." (ISO 7.9.5.6.)
*
* Grrrr...
*
* On a lighter note, many implementations do in fact allow an application to
* reset the buffering after it has been written to. We try to do this because
* otherwise we leave stdout in buffered mode after endwin() is called. (This
* also happens with SVr4 curses).
*
* There are pros/cons:
*
* con:
* There is no guarantee that we can reestablish buffering once we've
* dropped it.
*
* We _may_ lose data if the implementation does not coordinate this with
* fflush.
*
* pro:
* An implementation is more likely to refuse to change the buffering than
* to do it in one of the ways mentioned above.
*
* The alternative is to have the application try to change buffering
* itself, which is certainly no improvement.
*
* Just in case it does not work well on a particular system, the calls to
* change buffering are all via the macro NC_BUFFERED. Some implementations
* do indeed get confused by changing setbuf on/off, and will overrun the
* buffer. So we disable this by default (there may yet be a workaround).
