pv: Print the contents of the file and display a progress bar.
$ pv ${filename}
try on your machine
The command pv ${filename} is used to display the progress of data being transferred or processed in the terminal. Here's an explanation of each part:
pv: This is the name of the command, short for "pipe viewer". It allows for monitoring the progress of data as it moves through a pipeline.${filename}: This is a placeholder for the actual name of the file that you want to monitor. You need to replace it with the specific filename (including the file extension) that you want to track.
When you execute this command with the appropriate file name, it will give you information about the progress of data transfer or processing, such as the current speed, the percentage completed, and the estimated time remaining.
