nyan

A small wrapper to make cat prettier while concatenating large files.

Features

  • Pipes cat through pv to make a whole-operation progress bar with a time estimate.
  • Pre-checks files before passing them to cat. No more partial concatenations!

Usage

nyan -o [OUTPUT_FILE] [INPUT_FILE]...

An output file defined with -o is required. This wrapper is designed for non-human-readable files and as such does not output to stdout.

Dependencies

  • pv is required for the progress bar.
