- <listitem><para>When sending or receiving files, smbclient uses an
- internal memory buffer by default of size 64512 bytes. This command
- allows this size to be set to any range between 16384 (0x4000) bytes
- and 16776960 (0xFFFF00) bytes. Larger sizes may mean more efficient
- data transfer as smbclient will try and use the most efficient

+ <listitem><para>
+ When sending or receiving files, smbclient uses an
+ internal buffer sized by the maximum number of allowed requests
+ to the connected server. This command allows this size to be set to any
+ range between 0 (which means use the default server controlled size) bytes
+ and 16776960 (0xFFFF00) bytes. Using the server controlled size is the
+ most efficient as smbclient will pipeline as many simultaneous reads or
+ writes needed to keep the server as busy as possible. Setting this to
+ any other size will slow down the transfer.
