Pipe Viewer 1.11.0 is released today: https://ivarch.com/p/pv

This release introduces a new feature; performance improvements on Linux; several bug fixes; more translation coverage; and enhancements to stability and maintainability.

The new "--monitor" feature runs a command and monitors its input, output, or both, and can show the ratio of bytes in to bytes out.

On Linux, faster transfer methods using either "copy_file_range" or "splice" are automatically selected where appropriate. An extension to the "%T" format provides visibility of which method is being used for each transfer.

Fractional rate limits are now supported. Signal interrupts, such as Control-C, no longer overwrite the display with the interrupt message. Transfers from the terminal no longer require two Control-Ds to terminate on Linux. Two types of stall when piping to a stuck or dead receiver are eliminated. A code review has been performed, correcting many arbitrary internal limits, potential numeric underflows or overflows, compiler warnings on some platforms, and unclear comments; and the error reporting mechanism has been standardised.

For more details, refer to the "News" section of the project home page, or the "NEWS.md" file in the package.

Pipe Viewer (pv) is a terminal-based tool for monitoring the progress of data through a Unix pipeline and modifying its flow. 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. Data flow rate, error handling strategy, buffer size, and cache interaction can all be adjusted.

PV uses the resources of the #Codeberg platform - https://codeberg.org - for free software development. #FOSS
