simple stopwatch

Nevermind, I didn't read carefully the man page. You really shouldn't advertise unimplemented features :) As a quick workaround, you could start a timer with the limit when using -t with no arguments.

Hi,

It seems it misses the stopwatch option. I'm forced to use the timer option, which requires an argument, to have a simple stopwatch. The feature is advertised everywhere, even in `utimer --help`, which lists only the --timer and --countdown options. using no arguments - or maybe just -t - should start a stopwatch.

Thanks for this tool,

CHarly

bash-3.2$ utimer --help
Usage:
  utimer [OPTION...] [ARGUMENTS] - command-line "timer" which features a timer, a countdown and a stopwatch

 µTimer (or "utimer", pronounced as "micro-timer") is a multifunction timer (command-line only).

 The main features are:
        - a timer (e.g. count from 0 to 4 minutes),
        - a countdown (e.g. count from 10 minutes down to 0),
        - a stopwatch.

 µTimer always exits after the timer or countdown are done counting. This can be useful for using countdowns in scripts, for example. The stopwatch, which is not concerned, needs to be stopped manually using 'q'.

Help Options:
  -?, --help Show help options

Application Options:
  -t, --timer=TIMELENGTH count from 0 to TIMELENGTH and then exit (e.g. utimer -t 31m27s300ms).
  -c, --countdown=TIMELENGTH count from TIMELENGTH down to 0 and exit (e.g. utimer -c 30d9h50s).
  -v, --verbose Verbose output.
  -q, --quiet Quiet output.
  --quit-with-success When hitting 'q' to end the program, exit with a SUCCESS exit status (0).
  -L, --limits Show the limits of µTimer (Maximum time length, Accuracy...)
  --version Display the current version of µTimer.
  -d, --debug Debug output.
