Easier solution: you don’t need a progress bar.

It runs indefinitely to process small jobs. I could log stats somewhere, but it complicates things. Right now, it's just a single binary that automatically gets restarted in case of a problem.

Why not print on stdout, then redirect it to a file?

Depends on the purpose… but I guess if you replace it with estimated time left, may be good enough. Sometimes progress bar is just there to identify whether you need stop the job since it takes too much time.

And if you really do? Print the percentage to stdout.
