It's not line-buffered. It's optimally buffered, i.e. the buffer
is flushed whenever it's full (obviously) or whenever the loop
goes back to reading with a chance of blocking. When you test
with a loop around echo, you send lines one by one, so the
behaviour appears to be line buffering, but that's only an
artifact of your test.
