Documentation
Return progress reporter object for use with progress-reporter-update.
MESSAGE is shown in the echo area, with a status indicator
appended to the end. When you call progress-reporter-done, the
word "done" is printed after the MESSAGE. You can change the
MESSAGE of an existing progress reporter by calling
progress-reporter-force-update.
MIN-VALUE and MAX-VALUE, if non-nil, are starting (0% complete) and final (100% complete) states of operation; the latter should be larger. In this case, the status message shows the percentage progress.
If MIN-VALUE and/or MAX-VALUE is omitted or nil, the status message shows a "spinning", non-numeric indicator.
Optional CURRENT-VALUE is the initial progress; the default is MIN-VALUE. Optional MIN-CHANGE is the minimal change in percents to report; the default is 1%. CURRENT-VALUE and MIN-CHANGE do not have any effect if MIN-VALUE and/or MAX-VALUE are nil.
Optional MIN-TIME specifies the minimum interval time between
echo area updates (default is 0.2 seconds.) If the OS is not
capable of measuring fractions of seconds, this parameter is
effectively rounded up.
