-c|--char <val>: [optn] character to use a filler [default: #]
<action> : [parameter] lines/seconds/clear/check
<input> : [parameter] input number or operation identifier
# when the approx number of lines output is known
# e.g. first do a rsync --dry-run to check how many files have to be trasferred
# and then use this number in the actual operation
$ expected_lines=$(rsync --dry-run <from> <to> | awk 'END {print NR}')
$ rsync <from> <to> | progressbar lines "$expected_lines"
# similarly: when the approx number of seconds is known
$ <do_something_for_1_hour> | progressbar seconds 3600# the first time the script learns the expected # lines/seconds for operation '40-pings-to-google'
$ ping -c 40 www.google.com | progressbar lines 40-pings-to-google
45 lines / 39 secs …
# the following times, it can use this information to show a 0-100% progressbar
$ ping -c 40 www.google.com | progressbar lines 40-pings-to-google

$ ping -c 40 www.google.com | progressbar -b short lines 40-pings-to-google

# for instance, to use it with rsync, first do a --dry-run (rather fast) to get the estimated # of lines
$ rsync --dry-run -avz source/ destination/ | progressbar lines long-rsync-operation
# and then run the actual operation, which will take much longer, but will output +- the same # of lines
$ rsync -avz source/ destination/ | progressbar lines long-rsync-operation
