NAME
       alarm - set the alarm power time and or date of a Toshiba laptop

SYNOPSIS
       alarm [ -dlhv ]

DESCRIPTION
       alarm  allows  you  to  set  the alarm power on time and/or date of any
       Toshiba laptop or notebook that supports the alarm  power  on  feature.
       Older models may only support an alarm power on time.

       alarm  allows fairly complex time specifications, extending the POSIX.2
       standard.  It accepts times of the form HH:MM to set  the  alarm	 at  a
       specific	 time  of day.	(If that time is already past, the next day is
       assumed.)  You may also specify midnight, noon, or  teatime  (4pm)  and
       you  can	 have  a time-of-day suffixed with AM or PM for the morning or
       the evening.  You can also say what day the alarm  should  be  set,  by
       giving a date in the form month-name day with an optional year, or giv‐
       ing a date of the form MMDDYY or MM/DD/YY or DD.MM.YY.  The  specifica‐
       tion  of	 a date must follow the specification of the time of day.  You
       can also give times like now + count time-units, where  the  time-units
       can be minutes, hours, days, or weeks and you can tell alarm to set the
       alarm today by suffixing the time with  today  and  to  set  the	 alarm
       tomorrow by suffixing the time with tomorrow.

       For  example, to set the alarm at 4pm three days from now, you would do
       alarm 4pm + 3 days, to set the alarm at 10:00am on July 31,  you	 would
       do alarm 10am Jul 31 and to set the alarm at 1am tomorrow, you would do
       alarm 1am tomorrow.

OPTIONS
       -d, --disable
	      Disable the alarm power on feature of the laptop.

       -l, --localtime
	      Use if the hardware CMOS clock on the laptop is set to localtime
	      rather than GMT/UTC.

       -h     Print a short synopsis of the command line arguments.

       -v, --version
	      Print the version number and then exit.

BUGS
       You cannot set the power on alarm date to everyday.
