Roger GoughPipe 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.
To install on OS X, you can follow the instructions for Slackware. -

In this example pv shows just the output rate of “tar -czf” command. Not very interesting and it does not provide information about how much data is left. We need to provide the total size of data we are tarring to pv, it’s done this way:

Another similar example would be to pack the whole directory of files into a compressed tarball:
$ tar -czf - . | pv > out.tgz 117MB 0:00:55 [2.7MB/s] [> ]
In this example pv shows just the output rate of “tar -czf” command. Not very interesting and it does not provide information about how much data is left. We need to provide the total size of data we are tarring to pv, it’s done this way:
$ tar -cf - . | pv -s $(du -sb . | awk '{print $1}') | gzip > out.tgz 253MB 0:00:05 [46.7MB/s] [> ] 1% ETA 0:04:49What happens here is we tell tar to create “-c” an archive of all files in current dir “.” (recursively) and output the data to stdout “-f -”. Next we specify the size “-s” to pv of all files in current dir. The “du -sb . | awk ‘{print $1}’” returns number of bytes in current dir, and it gets fed as “-s” parameter to pv. Next we gzip the whole content and output the result to out.tgz file. This way “pv” knows how much data is still left to be processed and shows us that it will totally take 4 mins 49 secs to finish.

phoenix2lifeHi all. I’m starting yet another article series here. This one is going to be about Unix utilities that you should know about. The articles will discuss one Unix program at a time. I’ll try to write a good introduction to the tool and give as many example
