Multiprocessing from the command-line

Project description

Description
===========

Multiprocessing from the command-line.

Multiproc allows one to use a pool of workers with bash. It provides a
reliable way to launch a lot of concurrent processes while keeping the
control of the number of these processes.

This program uses python3.

Documentation
=============

Usage: multiproc [-h] [-0] [-v] [-p N] [-1] FORMAT

"%s" input string
"%n" number of the process
"%%" litteral "%"

Options:
-h, --help Print this help and exit.

-0 Use NUL as delimiter
This doesn't cover potential command output.
-p, --process N Number of processes to be used.
