Description-en: Retry a command until the command succeeds
Retry captures stdin into memory as the data is passed to the repeated
command, and this captured stdin is then replayed should the command be
repeated. This makes it possible to embed the retry tool into shell
pipelines.
.
Retry captures stdout into memory, and if the command was successful stdout
is passed on to stdout as normal, while if the command was repeated stdout
is passed to stderr instead. This ensures that output is passed to stdout
once and once only.
