?! The manual page is pretty clear:
--status-fd <n>
Send package status info to file descriptor <n>. This
can be given multiple times. Status updates are of the
form =E2=80=98status: <pkg>: <pkg qstate>=E2=80=99.
<n> in this case should obviously be a file descriptor you have opened
for write, and have some way of reading from. It could be a file or a
pipe, or some other exotic construct.
If you want a cheap example, try 1 (stdout) or 2 (stderr).

Have you ever, ever felt like this?
Had strange things happen? Are you going round the twist?
