NAME
progress - Coreutils Progress Viewer
SYNOPSIS
progress [ -qdwmM ] [ -W secs ] [ -c command ] [ -p pid ]
progress -v | --version
progress -h | --help
DESCRIPTION
This manual page briefly documents the progress command.
This tool can be described as a Tiny, Dirty, Linux-Only C command that looks for coreutils
basic commands (cp, mv, dd, tar, gzip/gunzip, cat, etc.) currently running on your system
and displays the percentage of copied data.
It can now also estimate throughput (using flag -w ).
OPTIONS
-q (--quiet)
hides all messages
-d (--debug)
shows all warning/error messages
-w (--wait)
estimate I/O throughput and estimated remaining time (slower display)
-W (--wait-delay secs)
wait 'secs' seconds for I/O estimation (implies -w )
-m (--monitor)
loop while monitored processes are still running
-M (--monitor-continuously)
like monitor but never stop (similar to watch progress )
-c (--command cmd)
monitor only this command name (ex: firefox). This option can be used multiple
times on the command line.
-p (--pid id)
monitor only this numeric process ID (ex: `pidof firefox`). This option can be used
multiple times on the command line.
-i (--ignore-file file)
do not report a process for 'file'. If the file does not exist yet, you must give a
full and clean absolute path. This option can be used multiple times on the command
line.
-o (--open-mode {r|w})
report only files opened for read or write by the process. This option is useful
when you want to monitor only output files (or input ones) of a process.
-v (--version)
show program version and exit
-h (--help)
display help message and exit
