SYNOPSIS

reltime RELATIVE_TIME_STRING

DESCRIPTION

reltime provides a relative time string in the “HH:MM:SS” in 24 hour format.

The notation for the relative time string is based on Go’s time duration string. From https://golang.google.cn/pkg/time/#ParseDuration,

A duration string is a possibly signed sequence of decimal numbers, each with optional fraction and a unit suffix, such as “300ms”, “-1.5h” or “2h45m”. Valid time units are “ns”, “us” (or “µs”), “ms”, “s”, “m”, “h”.
