cv - Coreutils Viewer
=====================
What is it ?
------------
This tool can be described as a **Tiny** Dirty Linux Only* C command that looks
for coreutils basic commands (cp, mv, dd, tar, gzip/gunzip, cat, ...) currently
running on your system and displays the percentage of copied data.
It can now also display an estimated throughput (using -w flag).
_(After many requests: the colors in the shell comes from [powerline-shell](https://github.com/milkbikis/powerline-shell). Try it, it's cool.)_
It's probably easy to add a progress, show estimated time, and with a bit more work,
provide a "top-like" mode with more accurate informations.
* Note: a [Mac OSX port is available](https://github.com/BestPig/cv) until we
merge the support upstream.
How do you build it ?
---------------------
```
make && make install
```
It depends on ncurses library, you may have to install corresponding packages.
How do you run it ?
-------------------
Just launch the binary, « cv ».
What can I do with it ?
-----------------------
A few examples. You can …
… monitor all current and upcoming instances of coreutils commands in
a simple window:
```
watch cv -q
```
… see how your download is running:
```
watch cv -wc firefox
```
… look at your Web server activity:
```
cv -c httpd
```
And many more.
How does it work ?
------------------
It simply scans /proc for interesting commands, and then use fd/ and fdinfo/
directories to find opened files and seek position, and reports status for
the biggest file.
It's very light, and compatible with virtually any command.
