Is it possible to estimate the progress of a task as it is running?
How far along it is or how long it will take to complete? This is
especially a matter I'm trying to determine if it is possible to
guess, such as if trying to run gzip on a file, or converting a file
from one format to another.
I would not use gzip but use zlib directly because you it will be faster
and if the file is already in memory, it will be faster because you use
zlib
like you would use the C stdio.
And there is no way to estimate progress unless it writes out the
process (look at
scp or ftp and see they write out the process).
Thanks,
