Clock displays a large 4-digit, 12-hour clock on the user's screen. A
line containing the hostname is displayed above the time and a line
containing the full date and time is displayed after it.
Unlike another recent clock program posting, this program is
stand-alone and does not depend on the presence or operation of any
other program (e.g. System V banner).
The display is updated once every minute (low SBB overhead) by
default. If refresh_rate is specified, then the display is updated
every refresh_rate seconds. Clock will automatically synchronize
itself to even minute, or fraction of minute boundaries. The first
refresh after the initial display will therefore probably be less than
the default or specified refresh rate. After that however, the updates
will be very regular.
If clock is run under GNU Emacs terminal-emulator function, it will
automatically use slightly fewer lines in order to fit the display
window on a normal 24 line terminal.
The interrupt character ends the program and clears the screen.
