.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Nm
|
|
.Op Fl z
|
|
.Op Fl f Ar file
|
|
.Op Fl l Ar length
|

.Op Fl p Ar prefix

|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility opens a pipe to
|
|
.Ar cmd
|
|
and feeds an input stream into it, while displaying a progress bar to
|
|
standard output.
|
|
If no filename is specified,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
reads from standard input.
|
|
Where feasible,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
.Xr fstat 2 Ns s
|
|
the input to determine the length, so a time estimate can be calculated.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If no length is specified or determined,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
simply displays a count of the data and the data rate.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The options are as follows:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width XlXlengthXX
|
|
.It Fl f Ar file
|
|
Read from the specified
|
|
.Ar file
|
|
instead of standard input.
|
|
.It Fl l Ar length
|
|
Use the specified length for the time estimate, rather than attempting to
|
|
.Xr fstat 2
|
|
the input.
|
|
An optional suffix (per
|
|
.Xr strsuftoll 3 )
|
|
may be given.
|
|
.It Fl p Ar prefix
|
|
Print the given
|
|
.Dq prefix
|
|
text before (left of) the progress bar.
|
|
.It Fl z
|
|
Filter the input through
|
|
.Xr gunzip 1 .
|
|
If
|
|
.Fl f
|
|
is specified, calculate the length using
|
|
.Ic gzip -l .
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh EXIT STATUS
|
|
.Nm
|
|
exits 0 on success.
|
|
.Sh EXAMPLES
|
|
The command
|
|
.Dl progress -zf file.tar.gz tar xf -
|
|
will extract the
|
|
.Pa file.tar.gz
|
|
displaying the progress bar as time passes:

.Pp
|
|
If it is preferred to monitor the progress of the decompression
|
|
process (unlikely), then
|
|
.Dl progress -f file.tar.gz tar zxf -
|
|
could be used.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The command
|
|
.Dl dd if=/dev/rwd0d ibs=64k | \e
|
|
.Dl progress -l 120g dd of=/dev/rwd1d obs=64k
|
|
will copy the 120 GB disk
|
|
.Sy wd0
|
|
.Pa ( /dev/rwd0d )
|
|
to
|
|
.Sy wd1
|
|
.Pa ( /dev/rwd1d ) ,
|
|
displaying a progress bar during the operation.

.Sh HISTORY
|
|
.Nm

The dynamic progress bar display code is part of

|
.Xr ftp 1 .

.Sh AUTHORS
|

|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
Since the progress bar is displayed asynchronously, it may be
|
|
difficult to read some error messages, both those produced by the
|
|
pipeline, as well as those produced by
|
|
.Nm
|
|
itself.
