Subject: pv 1.8.9-1
Date: Fri, 26 Apr 2024 09:33:21 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAJOCpN3tiC0HurZOD_2e6h22ThRth_LVtMBgwOXY_KYppXP4eQ@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

pv 1.8.9-1 is now available in Cygwin. This release has a few new features
and bug fixes, including the new --si option to interpret suffixes in
multiples of 1000 instead of 1024. See the upstream changelog[1] for the list
of changes.

pv - Pipe Viewer - is a terminal-based tool for monitoring the progress of
data through a pipeline. It 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. Additional support is available for
multiple instances working in tandem, to give a visual indicator of relative
throughput in a complex pipeline.

For pv fun watching your computer send zeros to the bit bucket, run

pv --stop-at-size --size 100G </dev/zero >/dev/null
