Note that `pv`, which is mentioned in the linked duplicate and the answers to [your previous question](https://unix.stackexchange.com/q/426849/86440), can do this accurately if it’s told about the total size of the files to copy. – Stephen Kitt Feb 27 '18 at 08:22

Have you tried looking at its documentation? – Stephen Kitt Feb 27 '18 at 09:22
