Andrew Wood e043efd259 Handle splice failures more robustly when the intermediate pipe is involved. 2026-05-23 00:32:50 +01:00
Andrew Wood 1f27ba3b35 Try to explain more clearly. 2026-05-20 22:58:53 +01:00
Andrew Wood 905e27ad47 Remove overly specific edge-case error messages, where just the filename and the system error would suffice; replace all the different types of memory allocation error with "memory allocation failure", since the action for the end-user is the same in all cases; and use the error messages "memory allocation failure", "interrupted by a signal", "error closing file", "input file is also the output", and "write error" since these are all used by either coreutils and grep, in similar contexts, so their translations can be copied. 2026-05-17 00:31:46 +01:00

Andrew Wood 17cbab3045 Add an option "-J" / "--pipe-buffer-size" to set the size of the output pipe buffer when the output is a pipe, and when that option is not specified, automatically increase the output pipe buffer size to match that of the input, when the first input is also a pipe (#188). 2026-05-02 16:42:35 +01:00

Wolfgang Hoschek e7d188ac65 fix: avoid EOF hang on unread pipe output (#189)
At EOF, pv waits for bytes already written to an output pipe to be consumed before finishing. If the downstream reader exits without reading those bytes, the pipe can keep reporting unread data forever. Since pv has no more input, there is no later write that would fail with EPIPE and break the wait.

Detect this EOF drain-wait case with a non-blocking poll() on the output pipe. When the pipe reports that its readers are gone, mark the pipe closed and stop waiting for bytes that can no longer be consumed. While a reader is still present, keep the existing behaviour and continue waiting for the pipe buffer to drain.

Add regression coverage for both ways pv can reach this state: direct input that leaves unread output bytes behind, and a pipeline where the original producer fails but an intermediate filter such as gzip still emits a valid empty stream. The latter matters because pv can still have pending output at EOF even when the command at the start of the pipeline failed immediately.
