NAME

       xarclock - extended xclock(1)

SYNOPSIS

       xarclock  [-roman]  [-arabic]  [-south] [-north] [-analog] [-digital] [-chime] pixels] [-fg color] [-bg color] [-hd color] [-hl color] [-bd
       color] [-fn fontname] [-help] [-padding pixels] [-rv] [-update seconds] [-display displayname] [-geometry geom]

DESCRIPTION

       The xarclock program displays the time in analog or digital, reverse or normal form.  The time is continuously updated at a frequency which
       may be specified by the user.  This program is based on the program xlock(1) that is distributed together with the X11 release and is noth-
       ing more than a wrapper around the Athena Clock widget.

       This program is an extension of the standard X clock widget.  New features are: Configurable direction of rotation and font support in ana-
       log mode.

OPTIONS

       Xarclock accepts all of the standard X Toolkit command line options along with the additional options listed below:

       -roman This option specifies that roman digits should be used on an analog clock.

       -arabic
	      This option specifies that arabic digits should be used on an analog clock.  This is the default

       -south This  option  specifies  the direction the clock will turn, on the southern half of the earth the 3, early afternoon, is on the left
	      side.  This is the default.

       -north This option specifies that the clock will behave like xclock(1).

       -analog
	      This option indicates that a conventional 12 hour clock face with tick marks and hands should be used.  This is the default.

       -digital (or -d)
	      This option indicates that a 24 hour digital clock should be used.

       -chime This option indicates that the clock should chime once on the half hour and twice on the hour.

       -hd color (or -hands color)
	      This option specifies the color of the hands on an analog clock.	The default is black.

       -hl color (or -highlight color)
	      This option specifies the color of the edges of the hands on an analog clock, and is only useful on color displays.  The default	is
	      black.

       -fn fontname
	      This option sets the name of the used fonts on the analog clock to fontname.

       -help  This option indicates that a brief summary of the allowed options should be printed on the standard error.

       -padding pixels
	      This  option specifies the width in pixels of the padding between the window border and clock text or picture.  The default is 10 on
	      a digital clock and 8 on an analog clock.

       -update seconds
	      This option specifies the frequency in seconds at which xclock should update its	display.   If  the  clock  is  obscured  and  then
	      exposed, it will be updated immediately.	A value of less than 30 seconds will enable a second hand on an analog clock.  The default
	      is 60 seconds.

X DEFAULTS

       This program uses the Athena Clock widget.  It understands all of the core resource names and classes as well as:

       width (class Width)
	      Specifies the width of the clock.  The default for analog clocks is 164 pixels; the default for digital clocks is whatever is needed
	      to hold the clock when displayed in the chosen font.

       height (class Height)
	      Specifies  the  height  of  the  clock.	The default for analog clocks is 164 pixels; the default for digital clocks is whatever is
	      needed to hold the clock when displayed in the chosen font.

       update (class Interval)
	      Specifies the frequency in seconds at which the time should be redisplayed.

       foreground (class Foreground)
	      Specifies the color for the tic marks. The default is depends on whether reverseVideo is specified.  If  reverseVideo  is  specified
	      the default is lwhite, otherwise the default is black.

       hands (class Foreground)
	      Specifies  the color of the insides of the clock's hands. The default is depends on whether reverseVideo is specified.  If reverseV-
	      ideo is specified the default is lwhite, otherwise the default is black.

       highlight (class Foreground)
	      Specifies the color used to highlight the clock's hands. The default is
	       depends on whether reverseVideo is specified.  If reverseVideo is specified the default is lwhite, otherwise the default is black.

       analog (class Boolean)
	      Specifies whether or not an analog clock should be used instead of a digital one.  The default is True.

       roman (class Boolean)
	      Specifies whether roman or arabic digits shoud be used on the analog clock.  The default is True.

       north (class Boolean)
	      Specifies whether or not reverse direction of rotation of hands of the analog clock should be used.  The default is False.

       chime (class Boolean)
	      Specifies whether or not a bell should be rung on the hour and half hour.

       padding (class Margin)
	      Specifies the amount of internal padding in pixels to be used.  The default is 8.

       font (class Font)
	      Specifies the font to be used for the digital clock.  Note that variable width fonts currently will not always display correctly.

WIDGETS

       In order to specify resources, it is useful to know the hierarchy of the widgets which compose xclock.  In the notation below,  indentation
       indicates hierarchical structure.  The widget class name is given first, followed by the widget instance name.

       XClock  xclock
	       Clock  clock

ENVIRONMENT

       DISPLAY
	      to get the default host and display number.

       XENVIRONMENT
	      to get the name of a resource file that overrides the global resources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.

FILES

       /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/XClock
	      Specifies required resources
