NAME
     pipebench - Shows speed of stdin/stdout communication

SYNOPSIS
     pipebench [ -ehqQIoru ] [ -s file | -S file ] [ -b bufsize ]

DESCRIPTION
     Measures the speed of stdin/stdout communication.

OPTIONS
     -h     Displays a help message and exits.

     -e     If	an  error occurs, exit (breaking the pipe between stdin and std-
	    out. By default an error message is printed to stderr and  the  pro-
	    gram continues.

     -q     Only show summary stats.

     -Q     Don't  show  running  speed  or summary stats. Same as -q -o. Can be
	    used to play with buffer size.

     -o     Don't show summary.

     -b bufsize
	    Use this buffer size, in bytes.

     -r     Just show raw speed, no fancy stuff. And no summary.

     -s fileWrite status to file instead of stderr.

     -S fileWrite status to file instead of stderr.

     -I     Use 1kB = 1000B, instead of the default 1024B.

     -u     Don't convet to units (kilo, Mega, etc...)

EXAMPLES
     Benchmark and show progress of backup
     # (cd /home/; tar cf - .) | pipebench | (cd /mnt/backup/; tar xf -)

     A number to brag to your friends about
     $ dd  if=/dev/zero  bs=80k  count=60k  2>	/dev/null  |  ./pipebench  -q  >
     /dev/null
