dclock [ -cmjd ] [ -sslant ] [
-tthickness ] [ -frate ]
Dclock displays a scalable digital clock. The time is
updated from the local host clock every minute as a background process. The
current date is displayed across the top of the window in the format
- Sat Aug 16 1986
(or some subset of such if there's not enough room). Options to
control the clock's appearance, size and placement are as follows:
- -c
- Display in 12-hour format (“civilian” time) —
the default.
- -m
- Display in 24-hour format (“military” time).
- -j
- “John's flag.” Puts a tail on the digit `9'.
- -d
- Do not display the current date across the top of the clock
view.
- -b
- Display a border (horizontal line) between the date string and the
time display.
- -T
- Do not display the Time in the clock view (leaving just the
date).
- -sslant
- Set the slant of the digits. A slant of 100 (the maximum)
corresponds to a slant of one digit width. A slant of 0 (the
minimum) is vertical. Default is -s30. A special form is -s,
which is equivalent to -s0.
- -tthickness
- Set the thickness of the digit segments. Allowable values are
between 5 and 25. A thickness of 25 results in segments which are
one quarter (25%) of the digit width. Default is -t15.
- -frate
- Set the rate at which the segments fade when the time changes. A
value of 0 is fastest and 4 is slowest. Default is -f4. A special
form is -f, which is equivalent to -f0.
