✨ BINCLOCK(1) ✨

okay bestie, sit down, because this one is genuinely adorable 🎀 It's a User Commands page (section 1, iykyk), and it's called binclock. Like, the whole entire vibe is: it prints time in binary format. That's it. That's the girl. 🦋

💖 NAME 💖

binclock — prints time in binary format

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

binclock [OPTION]...

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So basically it shows the system time in a binary format. Like, zeros and ones, on your terminal, being iconic. 💅

It's also lowkey stacked: it supports showing the time with seven different colors, and it can run a loop that prints the time every second (obsessed, honestly). 🌈

And if you want to make it yours, colors and characters can be changed with a config file. Customization era. 🫶

  • -l, --loop — loops the time printing every second. It just keeps going. Main character energy, no cap. 🔁
  • --color=[on|off] — control if color will be used for time output. Your choice, your rules. 🎨
  • --help — display this help and exit.
  • --version — output version information and exit.
  • -t, --traditional — prints the time in traditional output (0000 : 0000 : 00). Retro moment. 🕰️
  • -n, --normal — binclock displays an additional human readable time. For when your brain needs a little translation, bestie. 😭
If there is no CONFIG file the default colors are red (1) and white.

🎀 COLORS AND CHARACTERS 🎀

  • color_one=red — color for the one. 🍓
  • color_zero=green — color for the zero. 🌿
  • char_one=1 — sets the character for the one.
  • char_zero=0 — sets the character for the zero.

🦋 FILES 🦋

  • ~/.binclockrc — User configuration file. This one's yours, bestie. 💜
  • /etc/binclockrc — System-wide configuration file. The communal one. 👑
