Disable pacman progress bar

Question

I see pacman has this option

--noprogressbar  do not show a progress bar when downloading files

That applies to pacman -S pacman -R pacman -U. However I would like to always use this option when appropriate. Is that possible?

Answer 1

Just put a function in one of your bash files. Something like

pacman() {
  [[ $@ =~ -[RSU] ]] && set -- "$@" --noprogressbar
  command pacman "$@"
}
