The seekablepipe program
seekablepipe turns the reading end of a pipe into a seekable
file descriptor.
Interface
writer | seekablepipe reader [ args ... ]
-
seekablepipe writes writer's output in a temporary file
located in /tmp (the file is unlinked as soon as it is
created). Then it execs into reader, reading from a file
descriptor on that temporary file.
- If reader is not given, it defaults to cat.
