+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.
