+# `--no-buffer`
+
+Disables the buffering of the output stream. In normal work situations, curl
+uses a standard buffered output stream that has the effect that it outputs the
+data in chunks, not necessarily exactly when the data arrives. Using this
+option disables that buffering.
+
+Note that this is the negated option name documented. You can use --buffer to
+enable buffering again.
