reference:

• colorful output : c()
• c() can be also found in .marslorc

another:

• A progress bar for the shell

# main function designed for quickly copying to another program
progressBar() {
  Bar=""                                  # Progress Bar / Volume level

  Div=4                                   # Divisor into Volume for # of blocks
  Fill="▒"                                # Fill up to $Len
  Arr=( "▉" "▎" "▌" "▊" )                 # UTF-8 left blocks: 7/8, 1/4, 1/2, 3/4

  FullBlock=$((${1} / Div))               # Number of full blocks

      Bar="$Bar${Arr[0]}"                 # Add 1 full block into Progress Bar
      (( FullBlock-- ))                   # Decrement full blocks counter
  done

  # if remainder zero no partial block, else append character from array

  # Pad Progress Bar with fill character

  echo progress : "$1 $Bar"
  exit 0                                  # Remove this line when copying into program

count=0

while [ ${count} -lt ${totalLines} ]; do
  # update progress bar
  count=$(( ${count}+ 1 ))
  percent=$(( (${count} * 100 / ${totalLines} * 100)/ 100 ))
  i=$(( ${percent} * ${barLen} / 100 ))

[!NOTE]

• Shell does not show typed-in commands, what do I do to fix it?

$ reset
# or
$ stty sane

clear screen

$ tput home

# or
$ tput cup %py %px
# or
$ tput cup %py %px >/dev/null

show term

$ tput color

show terminal width

$ tput cols

customized colorful output

$ export GREP_COLORS="sl=0;33;49:ms=1;34;49"
