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.
