   --source-bwlimit=<limit k|m|g|t>  Bandwidth limit in bytes/kbytes/etc per second on the source transfer
   --target-bwlimit=<limit k|m|g|t>  Bandwidth limit in bytes/kbytes/etc per second on the target transfer
   --mbuffer-size=VALUE  Specify the mbuffer size (default: 16M), please refer to mbuffer(1) manual page.
+  --pv-options=OPTIONS  Configure how pv displays the progress bar, default '-p -t -e -r -b'
   --no-stream           Replicates using newest snapshot instead of intermediates
   --no-sync-snap        Does not create new snapshot, only transfers existing
   --create-bookmark     Creates a zfs bookmark for the newest snapshot on the source after replication succeeds (only works with --no-sync-snap)
