| Jun 30, 2020 at 9:14 | comment | added | Daniel H | Iʼm getting weird errors with unbuffer. A minimum reproducible example for me is unbuffer cat /dev/urandom > /dev/null; this causes a segfault within a couple seconds. This does not happen with /dev/zero or without unbuffer, making me think expect is trying to do something with the output. Does that seem plausible? | |

| Nov 4, 2015 at 23:50 | comment | added | cas | unbuffer is in the main expect package on debian now (it's still a symlink to expect_unbuffer, which is also in the main expect package) | |

| Apr 11, 2013 at 13:00 | comment | added | jfs | @bdonlan: At least on Ubuntu (debian-based), expect-dev provides both unbuffer and expect_unbuffer (the former is a symlink to the latter). The links are available since expect 5.44.1.14-1 (2009). | |
| Jan 26, 2013 at 23:33 | comment | added | Joey Adams | When I type Ctrl+Z to suspend the program, unbuffer doesn't pass the word along, so the program continues to use CPU. I'm on Ubuntu 10.04. | |

| Oct 6, 2009 at 20:18 | comment | added | Chris Conway | When pipelining calls to unbuffer, you should use the -p argument so that unbuffer reads from stdin. | |
