sponge

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

Usage

$ sponge --help
Usage: sponge [-ar] [FILE]

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

If FILE is omitted, sponge outputs to the standard out.

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