A small C command-line tool that scans running coreutils commands (cp, mv, dd, tar, gzip, etc.) and displays their progress as a percentage, with estimated time and throughput. It also offers a top-like monitoring mode and works by inspecting /proc (or libproc on macOS).
Use cases
- show progress of a running cp or mv command
- monitor dd disk copy progress
- watch progress of tar or gzip archives
- track download progress of firefox
- monitor any long-running command by PID
- top-like view of all file-copying processes
When to choose
- you want to see percentage, ETA, and throughput of coreutils commands already running
- you need a lightweight tool that works with virtually any command without wrapping it
- you're on Linux, FreeBSD, or macOS and want a simple install from system packages
When to avoid
- you need progress bars for GUI applications or non-file-based operations
- you want a shell-integrated progress bar for commands you launch yourself (use pv or similar instead)
- you're on Windows, which is not supported
