18Disables the buffering of the output stream. In normal work situations, curl
19uses a standard buffered output stream that has the effect that it outputs the
20data in chunks, not necessarily exactly when the data arrives. Using this
21option disables that buffering.

23Note that this is the negated option name documented. You can use --buffer to
24enable buffering again.
