An application to determine the maximum capacity of stdout buffer.

The program helps you determine the maximum capacity of your stdout buffer.

It was initially developped to diagnose screen tearing issues in a terminal-based game I was developping, and more specifically, to see the effect of the following action :

hSetBuffering stdout $ BlockBuffering $ Just maxBound

Using this program, I found that, on my system, the previous call quadruples stdout's capacity, from 2048 to 8192 bytes.

What is it?

A terminal program I wrote to visually determine the maximal size of stdout.
