pv 1.10.0-1 is now available in Cygwin. This release includes minor new
features, bug fixes, and translation updates since the previous Cygwin
release, 1.9.34-1. See https://www.ivarch.com/programs/pv.shtml#news for the
list.

pv (Pipe Viewer) is a terminal-based tool for monitoring the progress of data
through a pipeline. It can be inserted into any normal pipeline between two
processes to give a visual indication of how quickly data is passing through,
how long it has taken, how near to completion it is, and an estimate of how
long it will be until completion.

For pv fun watching your computer send zeros to the bit bucket, try

pv --stop-at-size --size 100G < /dev/zero > /dev/null
