Package: wnpp Version: N/A; reported 2002-12-03 Severity: wishlist * Package name : pv Version : 0.4.0 Upstream Author : Andrew Wood <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://www.ivarch.com/programs/pv.shtml * License : Artistic Description : Terminal-based tool for monitoring the progress of data through a pipeline
pv (Pipe Viewer) can be inserted into any normal pipeline between two processes to give a visual indication of how quickly data is passing through, how long it has taken, how near to completion it is, and an estimate of how long it will be until completion. . To use it, insert it in a pipeline between two processes, with the appropriate options. Its standard input will be passed through to its standard output and progress will be shown on standard error. PS: maybe it should be called pipe-viewer or pipeviewer ? -- System Information Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux ulysse 2.4.19-xfs #1 dim aoû 4 20:02:02 CEST 2002 i686 Locale: LANG=fr_FR.ISO-8859-1, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.ISO-8859-1
