.SH DESCRIPTION
This manual page briefly documents the \fBprogress\fP command.
.PP
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
.BR \-w ).
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.B \-q (\-\-quiet)
hides all messages
.TP
.B \-d (\-\-debug)
shows all warning/error messages
.TP
.B \-w (\-\-wait)
estimate I/O throughput and estimated remaining time (slower display)
.TP
.B \-W (\-\-wait\-delay secs)
wait 'secs' seconds for I/O estimation (implies
.BR \-w )
.TP
.B \-m (\-\-monitor)
loop while monitored processes are still running
.TP
.B \-M (\-\-monitor\-continuously)
like monitor but never stop (similar to
.BR "watch progress" )
.TP
.B \-c (\-\-command cmd)
monitor only this command name (ex: firefox). This option can be used multiple
times on the command line.
.TP
.B \-a (\-\-additional-command cmd)
add this command to the default list. This option can be used multiple
times on the command line.
.TP
.B \-p (\-\-pid id)
monitor only this numeric process ID (ex: \`pidof firefox\`). This option can
be used multiple times on the command line.
.TP
.B \-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.
.TP
.B \-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.

.TP
.B \-h (\-\-help)
