pipeview

A command line pipe inspection utility.

Why?

• Simple coloring of an input pipe.
• Progress bar (same as Linux's pv) - WIP.

Usage

Explicit coloring can be performed on the input based on a regular expression.

$ cat test/demo_nginx_access_log | pipeview "^(.*?) - - \\[(.*?)\\] \"(.*?) .*?\" (.*?) .*? \".*?\" \"(.*?)\"" 'bgreen white yellow cyan blue'

Nginx

Nginx logs can be directly inspected using the --nginx flag:

$ cat test/demo_nginx_access_log | pipeview --nginx
