# –progress=PROGRESS

All of the programs can give visual feedback. This options allows you to select the style of that feedback.

In the examples we are converting and OpenOffice.org 2.0 sdf/gsi file into POT files using oo2po.

## none

No visual feedback, this is useful if you want to use any of the scripts as part of another script and don’t want feedback to interfere with the operation.

    $ oo2po -P --progress=none en-US.sdf pot
    $

## dots

Use visual dots to represent progress. Each dot represent a file that has been processed.

    $ oo2po -P --progress=dots en-US.sdf pot
    .............................................................................................
    .............................................................................................
    .........................................
    $

## bar (default)

Use a progress bar consisting of hashes (#) to show progress.

    $ oo2po -P --progress=bar en-US.sdf pot
    processing 227 files...
    [##############################             ]  69%

This is the default mode of operation, therefore this command would create the same output.

    $ oo2po -P en-US.sdf pot

## verbose

Combine the hash (#) progress bar form the bar option with the actual names of files that have been processed.

    $ oo2po -P --progress=verbose en-US.sdf pot
    processing 227 files...

## names

Prints out only the filenames without any other progress indicator. This is a good option when outputting to a log file rather than a terminal.
