Progress is a command-line-based tiny tool which is formerly known as a Coreutils Progress Viewer. This tool is written in the C language. This command looks for the Coreutils basic command like cp, mv, dd, tar, gzip, cat, etc. which are currently running on the system and display the percentage of copied data.
