openssh bugs - Jul 2004 - [Bug 901] visual gauge in progress meter

http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=901

           Summary: visual gauge in progress meter
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 3.8.1p1
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: scp
        AssignedTo: openssh-bugs at mindrot.org
        ReportedBy: peak at argo.troja.mff.cuni.cz


A few releases ago scp displayed a visual approximation of its progress. I liked
that feature and decided to reintroduce it (with a slightly different,
wget-like, appearance).

Extra bonus: this code behaves better on extremely narrow terminals than the
original (see the patch: the branch with strlcpy(buf, "\r", win_size)
is
responsible for the improvement).

I'd rather not see it back in.  The issue we had in the past was to have a
visual gauge we had to hack off
too much of where the file was being saved.  And I'd rather see as full as
path as possible over the
visual bar.

My implementation is very sophisticated:
1. the gauge is displayed only if the terminal is at least 68 chars wide (35 for
numbers, 13 for minimal gauge (*), 20 for filename), this makes at least 32
chars for the filename on a standard 80-chars-wide terminal
2. the gauge grows beyond its minimal length if and only if there is some free
space available
3. the gauge is hidden (and the space occupied by the gauge may be reused by the
filename) when the file is finished (100%)

(*) a space, two brackets and ten "indicators"
