✨ NAME ✨

xprintidle — the little utility that prints how long you've been idle in X, bestie 💤✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

xprintidle [OPTION...]

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Okay so picture this: xprintidle is a utility that goes and queries the X server for the user's idle time, and then prints it straight to stdout — in milliseconds, no cap. That's it. That's the whole vibe. It's giving "how long has my human been ignoring their keyboard" energy and honestly? Iconic. 👑

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

🫶 Generic Program Information

  • -h, --help — spits out a usage message and then dips. exit stage left. 👋
  • -H, --human-readable — prints the idle time in a human-readable format, so your brain doesn't have to do math on a giant millisecond number like some kind of calculator. slay. ✨
  • -v, --version — outputs the version number and exits. show me your digits bestie 💅
