+CTEST_PROGRESS_OUTPUT
+---------------------
+
+Boolean environment variable that affects how :manual:`ctest <ctest(1)>`
+command output reports overall progress. When set to 1, TRUE, ON or anything
+else that evaluates to boolean true, progress is reported by repeatedly
+updating the same line. This greatly reduces the overall verbosity, but is
+only supported when output is sent directly to a terminal. If the environment
+variable is not set or has a value that evaluates to false, output is reported
+normally with each test having its own start and end lines logged to the
+output.
+
+The ``--progress`` option to :manual:`ctest <ctest(1)>` overrides this
+environment variable if both are given.
