Not continuously reading from stdin about sqscat HOT 2 OPEN

Can this tool not constantly read from stdin?

As you can see in examples, sqscat certainly reads constantly from stdin.

Or does it only spin up a certain number of threads and then die?

By default will continue to read indefinitely until it encounters an error or until it reaches EOF. Specifying -n will read exact specified number of entries before exiting.

Can you pipe the results of your first command to a file and confirm that there's newline as delimiter between items/entries? And also confirm the maximum size of each line.

Absolutely confirmed that there is a new line terminator. amqpcat automatically does this by default.

I have also tried gstbuf -oL amqpcat ... to force a new line buffering activity yet without luck.

But you say that it will read until EOF and then die? The -n will just die after a certain number of lines? Or will it just push the lines to sqs once that count has been reached and then wait for the next batch from stdin?
