Your question is not well-defined. Buffer size of what? What command are you using to read the output? If it has a limit on how long lines it will read, can you find a version which has no such limit?

(For example, the GNU coreutils tools are often better in this regard than whatever equivalent tools shipped with your commercial OS.)
