STREAM(1) STREAM(1)
NAME
stream - stream data between source and sink
SYNOPSIS
stream [-a] [-b bufsize] file1 [ file2 ]
DESCRIPTION
Stream creates a process that uses stream (see sys-read(2))
to stream data in chunks of at most bufsize bytes (default:
`Sys->ATOMICIO', or 8192 bytes) from file1 to the standard
output. If file2 is provided, the two files are instead
cross-connected by two streaming processes: one process
streams data from file1 to file2, and the other streams data
from file2 to file1. In all cases, stream writes data to the
destination file in full buffers of bufsize bytes.
Stream waits for all streaming processes to stop before
returning, unless the -a (asynchronous) option is given,
which causes it to return after spawning the streamers.
