--no-progress-bar

The type of the terminal, set by terminal emulators. When it is unset, dumb or unknown, opengrep scan does not draw the status line that shows the progress of the scan.

The variable has no other effect; in particular, color does not depend on it. It has no OPENGREP_ form.

## Examples

### A scan on a terminal that cannot redraw a line

$ TERM=dumb opengrep scan -q --config rule.yaml .
