# Miscellaneous routines

## Buffer objects

`getbuffer`(obj [,offset[, size]]) | Create a buffer object from the given object referencing a slice of length size starting at offset.
`newbuffer`(size) | Return a new uninitialized buffer object.

## Performance tuning

`alterdot`() | Change `dot`, `vdot`, and `inner` to use accelerated BLAS functions.
`restoredot`() | Restore `dot`, `vdot`, and innerproduct to the default non-BLAS implementations.
`setbufsize`(size) | Set the size of the buffer used in ufuncs.
`getbufsize`() | Return the size of the buffer used in ufuncs.
