🌈 OPTIONS 🌈

here's the whole rundown of options, all of them, no skipping, periodt:

• -max — the value that gets treated as 100% (default: 100)
• -min — the value that gets treated as 0% (default: 0)
• -w — how many characters count as 100% in the bar (default: 25 ) — yes the original says "charcaters", we love a typo icon 💀
• -s — the symbol that represents the percentage value in the bar (default: = )
• -l — a label to be prepended to the bar (default: '' )
• -nonl — no new line, so don't put '\0' at the end of the bar (default: do print '\0')

🍓 USAGE EXAMPLES 🍓

echo 25 | dzen2-dbar -m 100 -l Sometext
