# 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.
|
|
|
|
Nothing will be output when the download is from an encrypted or chunked
|
|
special remote.
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
* `[path ..]`
|
|
|
|
The files or directories whose partially downloaded content you want to
|
|
access.
|
|
|
|
Note that, when no path is specified, it defaults to all files in the
|
|
current working directory, and subdirectories, which can take a while to
|
|
traverse. It's most efficient to specify a the file you are interested
|
|
in, or to use `--all`
|
|
|
|
* `--all` `-A`
|
|
|
|
Rather than specifying a filename or path, this option can be
|
|
used to access all files that are currently being downloaded.
|
|
|
|
* `--key=keyname`
|
|
|
|
Access the file that is currently being downloaded for the specified key.
|
|
|
|
* file matching options
|
|
|
|
The [[git-annex-matching-options]](1)
|
|
can be used to specify files to access.
|
|
|
|
* Also the [[git-annex-common-options]](1) can be used.
|
|
|
|
# EXIT STATUS
|
|
|
|
If any of the requested items are not currently being downloaded,
|
|
the exit status will be 1.
