Besides the regular output, there is the -percentage to show integer percentages for dialog --gauge.

But sometimes mksquashfs is used from another program, that wants to show more detailed progress.

So there could be another option like -bytes, that would just show the current/max estimated byte size...

Then those tools can parse that output, and show it in their regular format like github.com/vbauerster/mpb

-percentage

Then again, the blocks * block_size is quite different from the resulting image size.

Maybe that would be confusing, and better to only show the blocks* (like -progress)

* or inodes + blocks, in the case of unsquashfs

Going with bytes for now, it is true in some sense.
