12Make curl display transfer progress as a simple progress bar instead of the
13standard, more informational, meter.
14
15This progress bar draws a single line of '#' characters across the screen and
16shows a percentage if the transfer size is known. For transfers without a
17known size, there will be space ship (-=o=-) that moves back and forth but
18only while data is being transferred, with a set of flying hash sign symbols on
19top.
