Command Line Progress Bar
by Michael Peek
A program to show information about a data transfer
Description
|
Bar is a simple tool to copy a stream of data and print a display
for the user on stderr showing (a) the amount of data passed,
(b) the throughput of the data transfer, and (c) the transfer time,
or, if the total size of the data stream is known, the estimated
time remaining, what percentage of the data transfer has been
completed, and a progress bar.
Bar was originally written for the purpose of estimating the amount
of time needed to transfer large amounts (many, many gigabytes) of data
across a network. (Usually in an SSH/tar pipe.)
