sponge

Go implementation of moreutils's sponge(1) command.

Usage

$ sponge --help
Usage: sponge [-ar] [[-o] FILE]
       sponge [-ar] [[-o] FILE] -- COMMAND [ARGS...]

sponge reads the standard input and writes it to the specified file.
Unlike shell redirects, sponge reads all input before writing output.
This allows to build a pipeline that reads from and writes to the same file.

If FILE is omitted, sponge will write to the standard output.

If COMMAND is specified, the command is executed, and only if it terminates
successfully, its output is written to FILE.

Options:
  -a, --append          Append to FILE instead of overwriting it
  -r, --replace         Replace FILE atomically instead of overwriting it
  -o, --output=FILE     Write output to FILE
  -h, --help            Show this help message and exit
      --version         Show version information and exit
