TM (Time Mark)
Description: Accesses the current date and time and controls a maximum of
four independent stopwatches. You can use this command to
record and display the elapsed time for up to four independent
events.
Syntax: Version 3.0, 3.1: TM [START] [STOP] [/C(n)] [/L] [/LOG] [/N]
Version 4.0, 4.5: TM [START] [STOP] [(comment)] [/C(n)] [/L]
[/LOG] [/N]
Parameters:
START Resets the stopwatch and displays the time and date.
STOP Displays the time and date and the time that has elapsed since
the last START. This keyword does not stop the stopwatch.
(comment) The text string you want TM to display either with the date
and time or with the elapsed time value. TM displays the text
on the line containing the elapsed time value if you include
the /N switch. You must enclose in quote marks any text string
that includes one or more blank spaces. If the text string
contains a single-quote character, enclose the text in
double-quote marks. If the text string contains a double-quote
character, enclose the text in single-quote marks.
/C(n) Selects the stopwatch that TM will use. The value for (n) can
be 1 through 4. The default value is 1.
/L Places the time display on the left side of the screen. If you
do not include this switch, TM places the display on the right
side of the screen.
/LOG Displays diagnostic output as separate (not overlaid) output
lines that can be redirected to either a printer or a disk
file. You can send the output to a printer or a disk file by
including the MS-DOS redirection character ()) followed by a
printer name or filename at the end of the command.
/N Prevents TM from displaying the current time and date and
shows only the elapsed time interval.
Notes:
Because a stopwatch runs until you reset it with the START keyword, you can
use successive STOP keywords to measure the elapsed time interval since the
previous START.
If START follows STOP on a command line, TM displays the time that has
elapsed and resets and restarts the stopwatch.
