About:
Progress is a command-line utility that monitors the progress of data through user-specified pipes. It provides a real-time, top-like interface that displays the status of coreutils tools like cp, dd, and tar, as well as other common file operations. This allows users to easily track long-running processes without interrupting them.
Key Features:
  • Monitors pipes from coreutils tools (cp, dd, mv, etc.)
  • Provides a top-like, real-time progress display
  • Supports file copy operations and disk usage checks
  • Simple and lightweight command-line interface
Use Cases:
  • Tracking progress of large file copies or moves
  • Monitoring long-running data processing pipelines
  • Estimating time remaining for disk operations
Alternatives:
  • pv – pv (Pipe Viewer) is a more feature-rich alternative that can be inserted into any pipeline to monitor data flow, whereas progress specifically monitors existing coreutils processes.
