=head1 NAME
|
|
|
|
parcat - cat files or fifos in parallel
|
|
|
|
=head1 SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
B<parcat> [--rm] [-#] file(s) [-#] file(s)
|
|
|
|
=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
GNU B<parcat> reads files or fifos in parallel. It writes full lines
|
|
so there will be no problem with mixed-half-lines which you risk if
|
|
you use:
|
|
|
|
(cat file1 & cat file2 &) | ...
|
|
|
|
Arguments can be given on the command line or passed in on stdin
|
|
(standard input).
|
|
|
|
=head1 OPTIONS
|
|
|
|
=over 9
|
|
|
|
=item -B<#>
|
|
|
|
Arguments following this will be sent to the file descriptor B<#>. E.g.
|
|
|
|
parcat -1 stdout1 stdout2 -2 stderr1 stderr2
|
|
|
|
will send I<stdout1> and I<stdout2> to stdout (standard output = file
|
|
descriptor 1), and send I<stderr1> and I<stderr2> to stderr (standard
|
|
error = file descriptor 2).
|
|
|
|
=item --rm
|
|
|
|
Remove files after opening. As soon as the files are opened, unlink
|
|
the files.

=head1 EXAMPLES
|
|
|
|
=head2 Simple line buffered output
|
|
|
|
GNU Parallel saves output to tempfiles. If the amount of data is
|
|
bigger than the free disk space, then you can use this technique to do
|
|
line buffering without saving to disk:
|
|
|
|
mkfifo slot-{1..5}
|
|
seq 10000000 | parallel -j5 --round --pipe 'cat > slot-{%}' &
|
|
parcat slot-{1..5} | wc
|
|

|
