Headline says it all. Shared for greater good and convenience. Other solutions like reading from proc and showing progress etc. unfortunately are too indirect.<p>The project will be maintained. It&#x27;s really convenient and used in one of the popular terminal file managers, nnn.<p>The progress bars work just great. Sometimes before starting a cp&#x2F;mv the numbers show in negative which should be a variable initialization issue. Patches are welcome to fix it and any other minor glitches you may find. Couldn&#x27;t find the time to get around to these.<p>Note: BSD and macOS users can press ^T to check the progress.
