percol: percol (interactive selection for UNIX pipes) percol: percol: An interactive grep tool in your terminal. Percol does the following: percol: percol: 1. receives input lines from stdin or a file, 2. lists the input percol: lines, 3. waits for your input that filters/selects the line(s), percol: 4. and finally outputs the selected line(s) to stdout. percol: percol: Since percol just filters the input and outputs the result to percol: stdout, it can be used in command-chains with | in your shell (UNIX percol: philosophy!).
