NAME

pipewait - store flow data temporaly to wait the following processes

SYNOPSIS

pipewait

DESCRIPTION

Some commands must wait to end the all processes in the previous stages. In such cases you should insert pipewait command in the pipeline.
This pipewait is effective between commands in GUI mode with multi-paging, such as display, mdisplay, baseline, spurius, sdbflag, scnflag. Without pipewait the pipeline process may be locked X11 system itself.
The pipewait command once stores all data flow into a temporaly file. After storing all data the command starts to read it and makes flow again. Therefore this process requires extra overhead time in direct pipeline flow.

FILTER TYPE

.sdb | pipewait | .sdb
