NAME
xclock - analog / digital clock for X
SYNOPSIS
xclock [ -help ] [ -analog ] [ -digital ] [ -chime ] [ -hd
color ] [ -hl color ] [ -update seconds ] [ -padding number
]
DESCRIPTION
The xclock program displays the time in analog or digital
form. The time is continuously updated at a frequency which
may be specified by the user.
OPTIONS
Xclock accepts all of the standard X Toolkit command line
options along with the additional options listed below:
-help This option indicates that a brief summary of the
allowed options should be printed on the standard
error.
-analog This option indicates that a conventional 12 hour
clock face with tick marks and hands should be used.
This is the default.
-digital or -d
This option indicates that a 24 hour digital clock
should be used.
-chime This option indicates that the clock should chime
once on the half hour and twice on the hour.
-hands color (or -hd color)
This option specifies the color of the hands on an
analog clock. The default is black.
-highlight color (or -hl color)
This option specifies the color of the edges of the
hands on an analog clock, and is only useful on
color displays. The default is black.
-update seconds
This option specifies the frequency in seconds at
which xclock should update its display. If the
clock is obscured and then exposed, it will be
updated immediately. A value of 30 seconds or less
will enable a second hand on an analog clock. The
default is 60 seconds.
-padding number
This option specifies the width in pixels of the
padding between the window border and clock text or
