history
Project history and usage
pipemeter is a command-line stream monitor that passes data from standard input to standard output while reporting transfer speed.
Project history
pipemeter is hosted as a Launchpad project with its official source branches exposed through Launchpad Code. It was designed as a focused command-line indicator for the speed of data moving from input to output.
Adoption history
The supplied package metadata records pipemeter packages in Homebrew, Debian, and Ubuntu, showing adoption in both macOS and Debian-family package-manager ecosystems.
How it is used
Place pipemeter between a data-producing and data-consuming command to monitor the transfer rate while allowing the byte stream to continue to its destination.
Why package nerds care
pipemeter follows the classic Unix-filter pattern: it observes a byte stream while preserving the pipeline from standard input to standard output.
For package-oriented users, it is a compact way to add throughput visibility to archive, copy, compression, or network pipelines without changing their endpoints.
Timeline
