Let's not do that. It's less efficient and less useful than what

Hello,
Once head read enough bytes to satisfy -c option, it stops reading input
and quit.
This is different from what -n does and it is also different from both
FreeBSD and busybox head implementation.
With GNU Coreutils head:
$ echo -e "123\n456\n789" | { head -n 1; while read a; do echo
