Advcpmv – A patch for GNU Core Utilities cp, mv to add progress bars

Headline says it all. Shared for greater good and convenience. Other solutions like reading from proc and showing progress etc. unfortunately are too indirect.

The project will be maintained. It's really convenient and used in one of the popular terminal file managers, nnn.

The progress bars work just great. Sometimes before starting a cp/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't find the time to get around to these.

Note: BSD and macOS users can press ^T to check the progress.
