STATUSBAR(8)							  STATUSBAR(8)

NAME
       statusbar - display a bar graph status window

SYNOPSIS
       aux/statusbar [ -kt ] [ -w minx,miny,maxx,maxy ] title

DESCRIPTION
       Aux/statusbar  reads textual status lines from standard input, convert‐
       ing them into a continuously updated bar graph displayed in a new  win‐
       dow  on	the  screen.   The  title is displayed on a line above the bar
       graph.  Each input line is two  space-separated	decimal	 numbers:  the
       numerator and denominator of a fraction.

       Statusbar  exits when it reaches end-of-file on standard input.	Typing
       DEL or control-C will also cause it to exit.

       The options are:

       -k     do not allow typing to cause statusbar to exit

       -t     print an ASCII status bar to standard output, using backspace to
	      redraw it

       -w     set the coordinates of the statusbar window created

EXAMPLE
       The  -v	option to hget(1) causes it to print status lines suitable for
       input to statusbar.

       Monitor a long download:

	      hget -v -o bigfile http://server.com/bigfile |[2]
