+Pipe Viewer (pv) is a terminal-based tool for monitoring the
+progress of data through a pipeline. It can be inserted into
+any normal pipeline between two processes to give a visual
+indication of how quickly data is passing through, how long
+it has taken, how near to completion it is, and an estimate
+of how long it will be until completion.
