Syntax:
set timestamp {"<format>"} {top|bottom} {{no}rotate} {offset <xoff>{,<yoff>}} {font "<fontspec>"} unset timestamp show timestamp
The format string allows you to choose the format used to write the date and
time. Its default value is what asctime() uses: "%a %b %d %H:%M:%S %Y"
(weekday, month name, day of the month, hours, minutes, seconds, four-digit
year). With top or bottom you can place the timestamp at the top or
bottom of the left margin (default: bottom). rotate lets you write the
timestamp vertically, if your terminal supports vertical text. The constants
xoff
and
yoff
are offsets that let you adjust the position more finely.
font
is used to specify the font with which the time is to be written.
The abbreviation time may be used in place of timestamp.
Example:
set timestamp "%d/%m/%y %H:%M" offset 80,-2 font "Helvetica"
See set timefmt (p. ) for more information about time format strings.
