    const std::string& text,
    const std::string& uri,
    bool force_use_format = false,
    bool show_uri_anyway = false

Build an text with a hyperlink, if printed to a terminal that supports it (e.g.

Ubuntu >=21.04), or the plain text otherwise.

std::string mrpt::system::progress(
    const double progressRatio0to1,
    const std::size_t barLength,
    bool encloseInSquareBrackets = true
    )

Build an text incremental progress bar with UNICODE block elements, for example:

50%  => "[████    ]"

See example: system_progress_bar/test.cpp

#include <mrpt/core/exceptions.h>

#include <chrono>
#include <iostream>
#include <thread>

void TestProgressBar()
{
    const int end = 400;
    const size_t barWidth = 30;

    for (int i = 0; i <= end; i++)
    {
        double p = double(i) / end;

        std::cout << "Progress: " << mrpt::system::progress(p, barWidth)
                  << mrpt::format(" %5.02f%%", 100 * p) << "\r";
        std::cout.flush();
