Fd 1 writes to the console. Your code to write to the console should write all of @var{buffer} in one call to @func{putbuf}, at least as -long as @var{size} is not bigger than a few hundred bytes. Otherwise, +long as @var{size} is not bigger than a few hundred bytes. (It is +reasonable to break up larger buffers.)
