# The misc/delay port

## delay-1.6p0 – delay program with feedback to the user

## Description

    Delay is a program that counts down the number of seconds specified
    on its command line. In this way, it's sort of like the standard
    sleep(1) command, except for the fact that it provides feedback of the
    time remaining.

    You can also 'delay' until a given time specification.
    Here some usage example:

    delay 1d 2:03:04.5
    delay 1d 2h 3m 4.5s
    delay 93785.5
    delay until 4 pm -- cdplay
    delay until noon tomorrow
    delay until midnight 13 september 2000
    delay until now + 5 minutes
    delay 15s -- top

    It allows for short, long, and customized messages for the display of
    the time remaining.
