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.
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.
[dwayne@laptop OOo20]$ oo2po -P --progress=none en-US.sdf pot
[dwayne@laptop OOo20]$
Use visual dots to represent progress. Each dot represent a file that has been processed.
[dwayne@laptop OOo20]$ oo2po -P --progress=dots en-US.sdf pot

Use a progress bar consisting of hashes (#) to show progress.
[dwayne@laptop OOo20]$ oo2po -P --progress=bar en-US.sdf pot

This is the default mode of operation, therefore this command would create the same output.
[dwayne@laptop OOo20]$ oo2po -P en-US.sdf pot
Combine the hash (#) progress bar form the bar option with the actual names of files that have been processed.
[dwayne@laptop OOo20]$ oo2po -P --progress=verbose en-US.sdf pot

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.
