+<h3 id="Notes"> Notes</h3> <p>This function may only be used after <code>stream</code> has been associated with an open file, but before any other operation (other than a failed call to <code><a href="setbuf" title="c/io/setbuf">setbuf</a></code>/<code>setvbuf</code>).</p>
+<p>Not all <code>size</code> bytes will necessarily be used for buffering: the actual buffer size is usually rounded down to a multiple of 2, a multiple of page size, etc.</p>
+<p>On many implementations, line buffering is only available for terminal input streams.</p>
+<p>A common error is setting the buffer of stdin or stdout to an array whose lifetime ends before the program terminates:</p>
+<div class="c source-c"><pre data-language="c">int main(void) {
+    char buf[BUFSIZ];
+    setbuf(stdin, buf);
+} // lifetime of buf ends, undefined behavior</pre></div> <p>The default buffer size <code><a href="../io" title="c/io">BUFSIZ</a></code> is expected to be the most efficient buffer size for file I/O on the implementation, but POSIX <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/fstat.html">fstat</a> often provides a better estimate.</p>
+<h3 id="Example"> Example</h3> <div class="t-example">
+<p>One use case for changing buffer size is when a better size is known.
