Usage: slow [-h] [-r<repeat>] [-b<blocksize>] [-l<lagtime>] <bps>[file ...]
where <bps> is the number of blocks per second to print.
If no filenames are given, stdin is read.
Options:
-b: Set the block size to <blocksize> characters. The default is 1.
If 0 is given, the block size become the size of the entire file.
A block of characters is written at each interval (not neccessarily
in one write operation).
-h: Print this help.
-l<lagtime>: The maximum amount of time that slow will try to catch up on,
in milliseconds. If slow oversleeps due to CPU load, being suspended,
etc., it tries to catch up by outputting a larger number of blocks
than normal. If slow oversleeps more than <lagtime>, only <lagtime>'s
worth of blocks is output. The default is 100 mS. Use 0 to eliminate
the cap. slow also tries to compensate for output lag due to input
throttling (input available at a lower rate than requested on output)
and output throttling (flow control, etc.).
-r<repeat>: Output each file <repeat> times. If <repeat> is 0, the first
file named is repeated indefinitely. The program may be halted by
keyboard interrupt.
