README.md

Introduction

This is the README for pv ("Pipe Viewer"), 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.

Documentation

A manual page is included in this distribution ("man pv"). Before installation, it is in "docs/pv.1".

Changes are listed in "docs/NEWS.md". The to-do list is "docs/TODO.md".

Developers and translators, please see "docs/DEVELOPERS.md".

Compilation

To compile the package, type "sh ./configure", which should generate a Makefile for your system. You may then type "make" to build everything, and "make install" to install it.

See the file "docs/INSTALL" for more about the configure script.

If this is not a packaged release, you will need the GNU build system tools (autoconf, aclocal, autopoint, automake) and the gettext development tools. You can then run "autoreconf -is" to generate the "configure" script.
