wait(1) -- Run commands and wait with a spin
|
|
============================================
|
|
|
|
## SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
`wait` *commands* [`--spin`=*arc*|*star*|*pipe*|*ball*|*flip*|*mixer*|*caret*|*bar1~3*]<br>
|
|
`wait` *commands* [`--time`=interval] [`--log`=file] [`--format`=format] [`--help`]
|
|
|
|
## DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
Run *commands* as a background process and wait until the job has finished. Any output to standard error indicates `wait` to return `1` once is done. While it waits, a customizable spinner is displayed in the command line.
|
|
|
|
## OPTIONS
|
|
|
|
* `-s --spin=style|string`:
|
|
Set spinner style. See `Styles` for a list of styles and instructions on how to use your own character sequences, progress bar usage, etc.
|
|
|
|
* `-t --time=interval`:
|
|
Set spinner transition time delay in *seconds*. A large value will refresh the spinner more slowly. You may use decimal numbers to represent smaller numbers.
|
|
|
|
* `-l --log=file`:
|
|
Output standard error to given *file*.
|
|
|
|
* `-f --format=format`:
|
|
Use given *format* to display the spinner. The default format is `"\r@"` where `@` represents the spinner token and `\r` a carriage return, used to refresh / erase the line.
|
|
|
|
* `-h --help`:
|
|
Show usage help.
|
|
|
|
## STYLES
|
|
|
|
The following styles are supported via `--spin=style`:
|
|
|
|
* arc, star, pipe, ball, flip, mixer, caret
|
|
* bar1~3
|
|
|
|
### CUSTOMIZATION
|
|
|
|
In addition to the default styles, you can specify a string of character tokens to be used each per spinner refresh cycle.
|
|
|
|
For example `--spin=12345` will display the numbers from 1 to 5, and `--spin=. --format=@` an increasing sequence of dots.
|
|
|
|
### PROGRESS BARS
|
|
|
|
Display a progress bar with a percent indicator using `--spin=bar1~3`:
|
|
|
|
* bar1: [=====] *num*%
|
|
* bar2: [#####] *num*%
|
|
* bar3: ....... *num*%
|
|
|
|
You can customize the appearance as follows:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
--spin=bar:<opening token><fill token><empty slot token><closing token>[%]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
--spin="bar:[+-]%"
|
|
--spin="bar:(@o)"
|
|
--spin="bar:||_|"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## EXAMPLES
|
|
|
|
Run a lengthy operation as a background job and display a spinning pipe character until it is finished.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
wait --spin=pipe "curl -sS $URL"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Output any errors to *debug.txt*.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
if not wait --spin=pipe --log=debug.txt "curl -sS $URL"
|
|
return 1
|
|
end
|
|
```
