%description |

This is a program designed to speed up writing tapes on remote tape |
12 |
drives. After startup it splits itself into two processes. The first |
13 |
process reads (and reblocks) from stdin into a shared memory buffer. |
14 |
The second writes from the shared memory buffer to stdout. Doing it this way |
15 |
means that the writing side effectively sits in a tight write loop and |
16 |
doesn't have to wait for input. Similarly for the input side. It is |
17 |
this waiting that slows down other reblocking processes, like dd. |
