       This manual page was written by Thomas Zimmermann <bugs@vdm-design.de>, for the openSUSE project (and may

progress                                        January 22, 2016                                     PROGRESS(1)

       Please report bugs at: http://github.com/Xfennec/progress/issues

       This manual page briefly documents the progress command.

       This  tool  can be described as a Tiny, Dirty, 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).

       It's  possible  to  give  permanent options using PROGRESS_ARGS environment variable.  See example below.
       Command line arguments take precedence over environment.

       Continuously monitor all current and upcoming instances of coreutils commands

              watchprogress-q

       See how your download is progressing

              watchprogress-wcfirefox

       Look at your Web server activity

              progress-chttpd

       Launch and monitor any heavy command using $!

              cpbigfilenewfile&progress-mp$!

       Use environment variable to set permanent (multiple) arguments

       progress - Coreutils Progress Viewer

-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-delaysecs)
              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 watchprogress)

       -c(--commandcmd)
              monitor  only  this  command  name  (ex:  firefox).  This option can be used multiple times on the
              command line.

       -a(--additional-commandcmd)
              add this command to the default list. This option can be used multiple times on the command line.

       -p(--pidid)
              monitor only this numeric process ID (ex: `pidof firefox`). This option can be used multiple times
              on the command line.

       -i(--ignore-filefile)
              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
