These functions are useful for showing how much time has elapsed since a particular event. For instance, they can convert your idle time from the number of seconds to a more readable form.
A human readable string representing some elapsed time.
$tdiff(248576) returns "2 days 21 hours 2 minutes 56 seconds" $tdiff(-248576) returns "-2 days -21 hours -2 minutes -56 seconds" $tdiff2(248576) returns "2d 21h 2m 56s" $tdiff2(-248576) returns "-2d -21h -2m -56s" $tdiff2(3602) returns "1h 2s" Notice the absence of minutes.
