<app>Zenity</app> reads data from standard input line by line. If a line is prefixed with #, the text is updated with the text on that line. If a line contains only a number, the percentage is updated with that number.

The progress dialog supports the following options:

|
|
</item>
|
|
|
|
<item>
|
|
<title><cmd>--auto-close</cmd></title>
|
|
<p>Closes the progress dialog when 100% has been reached.</p>
|
|
</item>
|
|
|
|
<item>
|
|
<title><cmd>--pulsate</cmd></title>
