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, converting them into a continuously updated bar graph displayed in a new window 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) and the
.B -d
option to
.IR venti/fmtarenas
and
.I venti/fmtisect
(see
.IR venti-fmt (8))
causes it to print status lines suitable for input to statusbar .
