Fkcpy

Funky copy is rather useless an utility, but I think it gives cool output :

Output exemple :

# ./fcpy DSS.zip DSS.new.zip
Copying file DSS.zip using buffer of 8192 bytes...

- * * * * * * * * * * -
34201600 bytes of DSS.zip copied in 4.39 sec
Xfer speed : 7793310 bytes/sec

Note :

I use this utility to tune nfs servers and the tcp/ip stack.

This utility uses dynamic buffering, but it should always be 8192 bytes...

It also uses the gethrtime() function, which is Solaris proprietary.
