# thinkwatt:
# record power consumption, calculate average and create a gnuplot graph
#
# TO-DO:
# * add more options (e.g. for specifying a different gnuplot title or png output)
# * allow time input in minutes and hours

usage:	thinkwatt -r (seconds) (-q) (-o file)
	thinkwatt [ -p | -a ] (-q) file

options:	
	-r, --record	record power consumption and optionally create a graph from the gathered data
	-p, --plot	create a plot image from a specified data file
	-a, --average	calculate the average power consumption from a specified data file
	-q, --quiet	makes thinkwatt less chatty
	-o, --output	the output file. can be prepended by a path.
	-h, --help	show this help text
	
examples:
	thinkwatt -r (will record to a temp file until cancelled)
	thinkwatt -r 300 -o /foo/bar/consumption.dat (will record for 5 minutes to the specified file)
	thinkwatt -p /foo/bar/consumption.dat (will create a graph from the specified file)
