Class WRLDtimeNow

java.lang.Object
  com.sleepbot.WRLDtime.app.WRLDtimeNow

public class WRLDtimeNow

extends java.lang.Object

A simple command-line app which returns the current WRLD.time.

Its WRLDcron chronometer is fully configurable via command-line options. For a full list of options, use '-help'. The application does not support the use of an external configuration file.

The current time is always returned in a format such as 'XX.XX'; the 2-digit measure, a period separator, then the 2-digit beat. The application will adapt the format to display the chronometer's maximum precision.

For more information, please see the general documentation at Sleepbot.com.

Method Detail

main

public static void main(java.lang.String[] args)

The main routine for the application.

It pretty much just collects all the parameters, applies them and spits out a WRLD.time code. Not much interesting to describe here.

The best documentation example in the com.sleepbot.WRLDtime.app.* package is WRLDtimeApplet.
