cpipe
cpipe is a command-line utility designed for efficient data transfer and manipulation, particularly useful in Unix-like operating systems. It allows users to pipe data from one process to another, similar to the standard Unix pipe functionality, but with added features for performance optimization and error handling. One of its key aspects is its ability to manage buffers and synchronize data flow between processes, which can prevent data loss and improve throughput, especially when dealing with large amounts of data or network transfers.
The utility is often employed in scenarios where standard piping might be insufficient due to buffering limitations
