drainpipe
A small Rust CLI that buffers stdin and flushes the tail on exit.
Features
- Limit policies: by lines (
-n), time window (-t), or total bytes (-b) - Optional live passthrough of input (
-p) - Output target on flush: stdout, stderr, or file (
-o) - Signal handling: graceful on SIGINT/SIGTERM/SIGHUP/SIGPIPE; double Ctrl-C exits with 130
- Optional timestamp prefix when flushing (
--prefix-time[=<fmt>]) - Max line size with truncation (
--max-line-bytes,--truncate-suffix)
Build
cargo build --release
Examples
cat log.txt | target/release/drainpipe -n 200
myproc | target/release/drainpipe -t 10s -p
myproc | target/release/drainpipe -b 1M -o out.txt --prefix-time
