SYNOPSIS¶
tdc [
options]
DESCRIPTION¶
Tiny Dockable Clock (tdc) is a simple and tiny dockable clock.
TDC is a stand-alone clock to X Window Systemd/X11 (e.g. XOrg or XFree86). It
has minimal build and run-time dependencies. TDC works with virtually any
EWMH-compliant window manager.
The behavior and the look of TDC can be configured either via command line
options or via configuration file. As usual, command-line options have
precedence over options that are specified in the configuration file.
