About Progress
Progress is a command-line tool that looks for running coreutils commands such as cp, mv, dd, tar, gzip/gunzip, and cat and displays the percentage of copied data. It can also show estimated time and throughput and provide a top-like monitoring mode.
It works by scanning /proc and checking fd and fdinfo for opened files and seek positions, reporting status for the largest file; on macOS it uses libproc. It runs on Linux, FreeBSD, and macOS and can be installed through system package managers or built from source using make and the ncurses library.
