+The size of the input queue is described by the @code{MAX_INPUT} and
+@w{@code{_POSIX_MAX_INPUT}} parameters; see @ref{Limits for Files}. You
+are guaranteed a queue size of at least @code{MAX_INPUT}, but the queue
+might be larger, and might even dynamically change size. If input flow
+control is enabled by setting the @code{IXOFF} input mode bit
+(@pxref{Input Modes}), the terminal driver transmits STOP and START
+characters to the terminal when necessary to prevent the queue from
+overflowing. Otherwise, input may be lost if it comes in too fast from
+the terminal. In canonical mode, all input stays in the queue until a
+newline character is received, so the terminal input queue can fill up
+when you type a very long line. @xref{Canonical or Not}.

The @dfn{terminal output queue} is like the input queue, but for output;
