advcpmv, also known as Advanced Copy, is a maintained patch set for Core Utilities that extends cp and mv with progress-aware transfer output.
The repository preserves Florian Zwicke’s original Advanced Copy work and rebases it for newer coreutils releases, making it possible to build patched advcp and advmv binaries for modern Linux systems.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Adds the
-gand--progress-baroptions to patched cp and mv binaries. - Shows transfer speed and estimated remaining time while copy or move operations are running.
- Displays both per-file progress and overall progress when processing multiple files.
- Can be installed as advcp/advmv or renamed to cpg/mvg for convenient shell use.
- Includes rebased patches for newer GNU coreutils releases, including the current 9.7 patch set in the repository.
- Automatically disables reflink when the progress bar option is used, because the two modes are incompatible.
