NAME

okabe - OSC-controlled timer for the terminal

SYNOPSIS

okabe [-f <okabe.ini>] [-p <port>] [-v]

DESCRIPTION

okabe is an OSC-controlled timer application for the terminal.

The options are as follows:

-f <okabe.ini>

Specify the path of the initialization file. This option defaults to "okabe.ini".

-p <port>

Set the port on which to listen for OSC messages. This option defaults to 7602.

-v

Print the version information and exit.

The timers along with their initial remaining time are specified through an initialization file. The format of this file is documented in the okabe(5) manual page. A timer's name can not exceed 8 characters. Otherwise, it will be cut. Every timer can be controlled using three OSC addresses:

Address Description
/<name>/toggle Toggles the timer on/off. This command does not take an argument.
/<name>/add Adds time to the timer. The first argument is an int32 representing the number of seconds to add.
/<name>/sub Subtracts time from the timer. The first argument is an int32 representing the number of seconds to subtract.

EXIT STATUS

okabe exits with a value >0 in case of an error. Otherwise, the exit status is 0.
