description Reblocking buffer for tape writes
long_description This is a program designed to speed up writing tapes. \
The program splits itself into two processes. The first process reads \
(and reblocks) from stdin into a shared memory buffer. The second \
writes from the shared memory buffer to stdout. Doing it this way \
means that the writing side effectly sits in a tight write loop and \
doesn't have to wait for input. Similarly for the input side. It is \
this waiting that slows down other reblocking processes, like dd.
