NOTE: You will need to download GNU parallel for this (doas pacman -S parallel)
|

This is just some notes regarding what's in here. The html files were created using a simple for loop:
|
|
|
|
for (( i=0; i<=10; i++ )); do
|
|
touch $i.html
|
|
done
|
|
|
|
Then in the command line, I copied a command from the bash.pdf book I'm reading in order to better understand GNU parallel, a command line program that allows for parallel processes to be executed (similar to xargs):
|
|
|
|
find . -type f -name '*.html' -print | parallel gzip
|
|
|
|
This will use the find command within the current directory, of a the type file, with the name all files that end in .html, and then send to standard output the results via the -print flag, afterwards which those
|
|
results are piped to GNU parallel which then asynchronously processes them through gzip (and thusly, compresses all .html files).
|
|
|
|
Note that GNU parallel is a powerful command line tool, you can execute a series of commands in sequence by reading them from a file and then passing them through parallel using the -j flag:
|
|
|
|
parallel -j 10 < file
