NAME

stopw - A console-based virtual stopwatch and timer

VERSION

This document describes version 0.03 of stopw (from Perl distribution App-stopw), released on 2016-07-30.

SYNOPSIS

% stopw [options]

See manpage for list of options.

DESCRIPTION

stopw is a console-based virtual stopwatch and timer. After you run the program, you can press:

• Z to reset the timer back to zero

• R (or spacebar) to record time

  This will print the current value of timer and move to the next line.

• S (or Enter) to start/stop the timer

• Q (or Ctrl-C) to quit the program

OPTIONS

--update-delay, -d (float, default: 0.02)

--banner-size, -b (int, 0-5, default: 0)

If set to a number between 1-5, will print a large banner (ASCII-art) of mm:ss digits instead of regular text (using Text::Banner). This will also automatically set --update-delay to 1.
