Fancy sugaring: online report of consumption #24

Eventually might be worth adding an option to enable display of the summary on the screen, similarly to how apt commands do it (IIRC) -- at the bottom of the terminal there is then a line which informs about progress of apt command - % done etc

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_escape_code has codes for navigation
https://github.com/pyout/pyout is our project which might have some of them used already to see how to do it etc.

@yarikoptic how does "online" come into this?

yarikoptic commented 3 weeks ago

"online" as displaying/changing while process is running. Internally we have a summary and we can display it after each new line printed to stdout, and then just destroy before replacing that place with a new line received or updating after each "aggregation" period.
