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.
