uncat - continuously reads stdin, splits up the data either by timeout
or number of bytes read to process it
uncat [-vo] [-t seconds] [-s
size] prog
uncat continuously reads stdin and repeatedly processes
the data either after seconds timeout or maximal number of bytes size read.
To process the data, uncat starts prog and feeds the data into prog’s standard
input. prog’s standard output is redirected to standard error. uncat never
writes to standard output.
prog consist of one or more arguments.
If prog
exits non-zero, uncat prints an error message, discards the data and continues
to read stdin.
Note that uncat is not crash proof.
uncat is used to run the
socklog-notify service.
- -v
- verbose. Print verbose messages to stderr.
- -o
- once. Exit on end of input. Normally uncat continues waiting for data on
standard input, even on end of file.
- -t seconds
- timeout. Set the timeout to
seconds seconds. Default is 300.
- -s size
- Set the maximal number of bytes to
size. Default is 1024.
If uncat receives a TERM signal, it starts
to process the data in memory and exits as soon as possible.
uncat also
does this on end of input if the -o option was given.
uncat returns
0 after receiving a TERM signal. uncat returns 111 on error.
