NAME

statusbar − display a bar graph status window

SYNOPSIS

­aux/statusbar [ ­-kt ] [ ­-w ­minx,miny,maxx,maxy ] ­title

DESCRIPTION

­Aux/statusbar reads textual status lines from standard input, converting them into a continuously updated bar graph displayed in a new window on the screen.  The ­title is displayed on a line above the bar graph.  Each input line is two space-separated decimal numbers: the numerator and denominator of a fraction. 

­Statusbar exits when it reaches end-of-file on standard input.  Typing DEL or control-C will also cause it to exit. 

The options are:

­-k do not allow typing to cause ­statusbar to exit

­-t print an ASCII status bar to standard output, using backspace to redraw it

­-w set the coordinates of the statusbar window created

EXAMPLE

The ­-v option to hget(1) causes it to print status lines suitable for input to statusbar.

Monitor a long download:

hget -v -o bigfile http://server.com/bigfile |[2]
