    Add progress reporting to pg_checksums · 280e5f14
    Michael Paquier authored
    This adds a new option to pg_checksums called -P/--progress, showing
    every second some information about the computation state of an
    operation for --check and --enable (--disable only updates the control
    file and is quick).  This requires a pre-scan of the data folder so as
    the total size of checksummable items can be calculated, and then it
    gets compared to the amount processed.
    
    Similarly to what is done for pg_rewind and pg_basebackup, the
    information printed in the progress report consists of the current
    amount of data computed and the total amount of data to compute.  This
    could be extended later on.
