About:
Spigot is a command-line tool for performing arbitrary-precision arithmetic with streaming output. It calculates exact real numbers by generating digits on-the-fly, avoiding the memory and performance limitations of storing large numbers. This makes it ideal for high-precision computations where results are processed incrementally.
Key Features:
  • Streaming output of digits as they are computed
  • Arbitrary precision arithmetic without memory bloat
  • Command-line interface for easy scripting and integration
  • Calculates mathematical constants and functions to high precision
Use Cases:
  • Generating high-precision digits of pi or other constants for research
  • Benchmarking arbitrary-precision arithmetic libraries
  • Scripting complex mathematical calculations in a pipeline
Alternatives:
  • bc – Standard calculator with arbitrary precision but lacks streaming output
  • calc – Interactive calculator with extensive functions but different precision model
