SYNOPSIS
peet [-h] [-w outfd] infd1 [infd2 ...]DESCRIPTION
peet reads from many file descriptors and copies everything to one file descriptor. If no file descriptor is given ('-w' option), 1 (stdout) is used.peet is text line based - i.e. only complete lines are written. The order of lines written to the output file descriptor is pure random when there is more then one file descriptor where a complete line can be read from.
peet can be used with pipexec(1) to de-multiplex text based output.
OPTIONS
- -h
- print help and version information
- -w outfd
- use the given outfd as output file descriptor. If this option is not specified, 1 (stdout) is used.
EXAMPLES
Read from stdin (fd 0), and file descriptors 9 and 11 and write to stdout.peet 0 9 11
Using pipexec(1): start two commands, both write their log to stdout and use one instance of rotatelogs(1) to write the logs to disk into a common log file: (The file descriptors 8 and 11 are chosen by random.)
pipexec [ CMD1 /usr/bin/cmd1 ] [ CMD2 /usr/bin/cmd2 ] \ [ PEET /usr/bin/peet 8 11 ] \ [ RLOGS /usr/bin/rotatelogs /var/log/%Y%m%d_cmd.log ] \ "{CMD1:1>PEET:8}" "{CMD2:1>PEET:11}" \ "{PEET:1>RLOGS:0}"
