Can pacman display overall or total progress, during upgrade, etc?

greeeetinngs!...

So, for example, during a system upgrade (while running pacman -Syu), pacman may print something like this:

gnome-control-cente...     2.7 MiB   127K/s 00:21 [######################] 100%
gnome-icon-theme-ex...   762.0 KiB   165K/s 00:05 [######################] 100%
gcr-3.4.1-1-x86_64       753.4 KiB  97.0K/s 00:08 [######################] 100%
gnome-keyring-3.4.1...   687.3 KiB   130K/s 00:05 [######################] 100%
gnome-screensaver-3...   207.8 KiB  98.3K/s 00:02 [######################] 100%
mutter-3.4.1-2-x86_64    878.8 KiB   126K/s 00:07 [######################] 100%
libtracker-sparql-0...   273.0 KiB  98.8K/s 00:03 [######################] 100%
nautilus-3.4.1-2-x86_64    2.2 MiB   135K/s 00:16 [########### - - - - - - - - - - -] 50%

Is there a way (for example, an option) for pacman to print the total progress of the downloads, overall?

For example, something like this:

Total Progress    200.2 MiB   135K/s 25:16 [########### - - - - - - - - - - -] 50%

???

Perhaps someone can point me in the direction of a way to figure this out, would it be in "info pacman" ? Guess I could check there first... Simple question though, eh?

Re: Can pacman display overall or total progress, during upgrade, etc?

Look in the /etc/pacman.conf file for hints.

And please use code tags when posting code.
