history
Project history and usage
Command Line Progress Bar, packaged as clpbar, is a small C command-line utility by Michael Peek for showing progress while copying a data stream.
Project history
The official homepage describes Bar as a stream-copying program that reports transfer amount, throughput, transfer time, estimated remaining time, percentage complete, and a progress bar on stderr.
The same homepage says the tool was originally written to estimate large network transfers, usually in SSH and tar pipelines.
Adoption history
The official SourceForge project records the project as a Linux/BSD command-line tool registered in 2003 and last updated in 2012.
The input package facts show continued package-manager availability through Homebrew and MacPorts.
How it is used
Users insert clpbar into Unix pipelines so stdin is forwarded to stdout while progress information is emitted to stderr.
Why package nerds care
clpbar is package-manager preservation of a focused SourceForge-era Unix utility: tiny, pipeline-friendly, and useful without changing the producer or consumer commands.
