cliTimer

• A simple and semi accurate timer utility to time commandline executions times.

  • My preferred installation method.

    1. clone the repository.
    2. 'cd <directory cloned to>'
    3. 'sudo pip install .'

• COMMAND LINE OPTIONS

  • 'cliTimer -h' for help.
  • 'cliTimer -t' returns a date in the format '2022/06/06 19:25:04.354975'
  • 'cliTimer -m' returns a date in the format '1654565154.486381'
  • 'cliTimer -r <start time> <end time>' returns the result of <end time> - <start time> in the format '2022/06/06 19:25:04.354975'
    • Start time and end time can be entered in either supported format.
    • The '-t' format needs to be quoted, the '-m' can be either quoted or not.
  • 'cliTimer -s <start time> <end time>' returns the result of <end time> - <start time> in the format '1654565154.486381'
    • Start time and end time can be entered in either supported format.
    • The '-t' format needs to be quoted, the '-m' can be either quoted or not.
  • '-f' switch to full result format.
    • Full result format will be one of the following based on the '-r' or '-s' choice made.

    • End Time 1654565154.486381
    • Start Time 2022/06/06 19:25:04.354975
  • = Result 0000/00/00/ 00:00:51.868594

    • or

    • ---

      • End Time 1654565154.486381
    • Start Time 2022/06/06 19:25:04.354975
  • = Result 51.868594
  • Start and end times are always displayed as entered.

• KNOWN ISSUES

  • Using '-t' format is less accurate than using -m format.
    • Easiest workaround is to enter start and end times as '-m' and get results as '-r'.
