TPUT(1)                     General Commands Manual                    TPUT(1)



NAME
       tput - measure read throughput

SYNOPSIS
       tput [ -b buflen ] [ -p ]

DESCRIPTION
       Tput continuously reads standard input writing throughput statistics to
       standard error. The throughput value is calculated and written once per
       second and automatically scaled to kilo-, mega- or gigabytes.

       When  the  -p flag is specified, tput will write the data read to stan‐
       dard output (the default is to discard the data).

       A read blocksize (default is 8192) in bytes can be given  with  the  -b
       buflen option.
