NAME

       speedometer - measure and display the rate of data across a network connection

SYNOPSIS

	  speedometer [options] tap [[-c] tap] ...

DESCRIPTION

       Monitor network traffic or speed/progress of a file transfer. At least one tap option (-f, -rx, -tx) must be entered. Option -c starts a
       new column, otherwise taps are piled vertically.

       Note: before you use the program, satrt generating traffic by transferring files in/out e.g. with scp(1) in the network you're measuring.

OPTIONS

       -b  Use old blocky display instead of smoothed display even when UTF-8 encoding is detected.

       -f filename [size]
	   Display download speed with progress bar. This option must be used if directly following another file tap without an expected size
	   specified.

       -i interval
	   Interval in seconds. Examples: 5 or 0.25". Default is 1.

       -p  Use plain-text display (one tap only).

       -rx iface
	   Display bytes received on network interface.

       -tx iface
	   Display bytes transmitted on network interface.

       -z  Report zero size on files that don't exist instead of waiting for them to be created

       EXAMPLES

       How long it will take for my 38MB transfer to finish?

	   speedometer favorite_episode.rm $(( 38 * 1024 * 1024 ))

       How quickly is another transfer going?

	   speedometer dl/big.avi

       How fast is this LAN?

	   host-a$ cat /dev/zero | nc -l -p 12345
	   host-b$ nc host-a 12345 > /dev/null
	   host-b$ speedometer -rx eth0

       How fast is the upstream on this ADSL line?

	   speedometer -tx ppp0

       How fast can I write data to my filesystem? (with at least 1GB free)

	   dd bs=1000000 count=1000 if=/dev/zero of=bigfile &
	   speedometer bigfile

NAME

       dbar - ASCII progresbar

SYNOPSIS

	 echo <percentage> | dbar [options] <indicator text>

DESCRIPTION

       dbar lets you define static 0% and 100% marks or you can define these marks dynamically at runtime.  Static and dynamic marks can be mixed,
       in this case the value specified at runtime will have a higher priority.

       You can specify ranges of numbers, negative, positive or ranges with a negative min value and positive max value.

       All numbers are treated as double precision floating point, i.e. the input is NOT limited to integers.

OPTIONS

       -l  Label to be prepended to the bar (default: "" ).

       -nonl
	   no new line, don't put '
' at the end of the bar (default: do print "
")

       -max
	   Value to be considered 100% (default: 100).

       -min
	   Value to be considered 0% (default: 0).

       -s  Symbol represeting the percentage value in the meter (default: "=").

       -w  Number of charcaters to be considered 100% in the meter (default: 25)

EXAMPLES

       Static 100% mark or single value input:

	   echo 25 | dbar -max 100 -l text

	   Output: text  25% [======		       ]

       If your 100% mark changes dynamically or 2-values input:

	   echo "50 150" | dbar
		 |   |
		 |   |__ max value
		 |
		 |__ value to display

	   Output: 33% [========		 ]

       If your value range is not between [0, maxval] or 3-values input:

	   echo "50 -25 150" | dbar
		 |   |	|
		 |   |	|__ max value 100% mark
		 |   |
		 |   |_____ min value 0% mark
		 |
		 |________ value to display

	   Output: 43% [===========		 ]

       Multiple runs:

	   for i in 2 20 50 75 80; do echo $i; sleep 1; done | dbar | dzen2

	   Output: Find out yourself.

ENVIRONMENT

       None.
