# What is Par?
Have you ever want to run a bunch of related processes at once, and maybe even collect their output? If so, this little thing is for you. Par spins up a fleet of goroutines and runs a command template you specify against standard input. It's best suited for tasks where you would expect concurrency to help you out -- things where network timeouts are possible and can slow your processing time down to a crawl.

# Installation

## On OS X:

```shell
$ brew install go
$ echo PATH=$PATH:`brew --prefix go`/bin >> ~/.bash_profile && source ~/.bash_profile
$ go get github.com/jroes/par
```
