New port! Pipebench shows current throughput/amount of data through a pipe.
Lately Michael L.Hostbaek told: > sed 's/^X//' >pipebench/pkg-descr << 'END-of-pipebench/pkg-descr' > XPipebench shows the current throughput and amount of data going through a > Xpipe. It can be used to show the progress of a large md5sum process: > Xcat bigfile | pipebench | md5sum. you are given this week's most useless use of cat award. save a process today! pipebench < bigfile | md5sum btw: this is horrible, sorry. piping a bigfile through the kernel just to see the progress is evil; better let the receiving process read the file itself (or even mmap() it) but i can imagine there are other usefull or useable situations for this program cheers simon -- /"\ http://corecode.ath.cx/#donate \ / \ ASCII Ribbon Campaign / \ Against HTML Mail and News
