attached you will find a patch which adds some ascii vissualization of the
ddrescuing, if your terminal supports it should be colorized too
This is interesting, but I don't think hard coding ANSI escape sequences
is such a good idea. You don't know what terminal people will be using.
Also you should use ioctl TIOCGWINSZ and sigwinch to detect the terminal
size rather then have people type it in themself.
However, that too, may cause portability problems.
I would maybe recommend investigating curses, and using that. It should be
fully portable, although the full curses library seems somewhat overkill
for this purpose.
I don't have other advice/ideas, maybe the programmer of ddrescue will
have some.
