[input ...]
Monitor the progress of data through a pipe. A Python implementation of the original `pv` command:
functional but not yet feature complete.
positional arguments:
input Input file path. Uses stdin if not specified.
options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-p, --progress Turn the progress bar on.
-t, --timer Turn the timer on.
-e, --eta Turn the ETA timer on.
-I, --fineta Display the ETA as local time of arrival.
-r, --rate Turn the rate counter on.
-a, --average-rate Turn the average rate counter on.
-b, --bytes Turn the total byte counter on.
-8, --bits Display total bits instead of bytes.
-T, --buffer-percent Turn on the transfer buffer percentage display.
-A LAST_WRITTEN, --last-written LAST_WRITTEN
Show the last NUM bytes written.
-F FORMAT, --format FORMAT
Use the format string FORMAT for output format.
-n, --numeric Numeric output.
-q, --quiet No output.
-W, --wait Wait until the first byte has been transferred.
-D DELAY_START, --delay-start DELAY_START
Delay start.
-s SIZE, --size SIZE Assume total data size is SIZE.
-l, --line-mode Count lines instead of bytes.
-0, --null Count lines terminated with a zero byte.
-i INTERVAL, --interval INTERVAL
Interval between updates.
-m AVERAGE_RATE_WINDOW, --average-rate-window AVERAGE_RATE_WINDOW
Window for average rate calculation.
-w WIDTH, --width WIDTH
Assume terminal is WIDTH characters wide.
-H HEIGHT, --height HEIGHT
Assume terminal is HEIGHT rows high.
-N NAME, --name NAME Prefix output information with NAME.
-f, --force Force output.
-c, --cursor Use cursor positioning escape sequences.
-L RATE_LIMIT, --rate-limit RATE_LIMIT
Limit transfer to RATE bytes per second.
-B BUFFER_SIZE, --buffer-size BUFFER_SIZE
Use transfer buffer size of BYTES.
-C, --no-splice Never use splice.
-E, --skip-errors Ignore read errors.
-Z ERROR_SKIP_BLOCK, --error-skip-block ERROR_SKIP_BLOCK
Skip block size when ignoring errors.
-S, --stop-at-size Stop transferring after SIZE bytes.
-Y, --sync Synchronise buffer caches to disk after writes.
-K, --direct-io Set O_DIRECT flag on all inputs/outputs.
-X, --discard Discard input data instead of transferring it.
-d WATCHFD, --watchfd WATCHFD
Watch file descriptor of process.
-R REMOTE, --remote REMOTE
Remote control another running instance of pv.
-P PIDFILE, --pidfile PIDFILE
Save process ID in FILE.
-o OUTPUT, --output OUTPUT
Output file path. Uses stdout if not specified.
