+               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. This can also be set
+               using the <command>iosize</command> command inside smbclient.
