# NAME
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
git-annex inprogress - access files while they're being downloaded
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# SYNOPSIS
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
git annex inprogress `[path ...]`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This command allows accessing the content of an annexed file while
|
||
|
|
it is still being downloaded. It outputs to standard output the
|
||
|
|
name of the temporary file that is being used to download the specified
|
||
|
|
annexed file.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This can sometimes be used to stream a file before it's been fully
|
||
|
|
downloaded, for example:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
git annex get video.mpeg &
|
||
|
|
vlc $(git annex inprogress video.mpeg)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Of course if the file is downloading too slowly, the media player will
|
||
|
|
reach the end too soon and not show the whole thing. And of course, only
|
||
|
|
some file formats can be usefully streamed in this way.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# OPTIONS
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* file matching options
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The [[git-annex-matching-options]](1)
|
||
|
|
can be used to specify files to access.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* `--all`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Rather than specifying a filename or path, this option can be
|
||
|
|
used to access all files that are currently being downloaded.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# EXIT STATUS
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If any of the requested files are not currently being downloaded,
|
||
|
|
the exit status will be 1.
