+ Pipe Viewer 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.
