+.SH "NAME" 
+ttyload \- a tty-based xload equivalent
+.SH "SYNOPSIS" 
+.PP 
+ttyload [options]
+.PP 
+.SH "DESCRIPTION" 
+.PP 
+ttyload is a "tty" based load monitoring tool\&.  Not entirely unlike
+xload, it plots a graph of a system's "load average" data\&.  Unlike
+xload, it uses 3 line graphs to plot things, instead of a single fill
+graph, so that it can show you not only the 1-minute load average, but
+also the 5-minute and 15-minute averages\&.  Also unlike xload, it uses
+a basic terminal (tty) to display the information, instead of an X
+window\&.  ANSI escape sequences are used (optionally) for colorization
+and screen manipulation\&.
+.PP 
+A few of the main features of ttyload are:
+.PP 
+.IP o 
+graphs load averages (all 3 numbers) over time
+.IP o 
+uses ANSI escape sequences to colorize graphs
+.IP o
+works without requiring X11 libraries, in a Terminal window
+.IP o
+automatically determines screen size by default

+.SH "USAGE" 
+.PP 
+The easiest way to use ttyload is just to invoke the command, with no
+additional options\&.
+.PP 
+Additional options are described below\&.
+.PP
+To quit ttyload, enter the terminal's interrupt character (typically
+control-C)\&.

+.SH "OPTIONS" 
+.PP 
+ttyload uses standard getopt() style options processing\&.
+Available options are:
+.PP 
+
+.DS 
+
+.PP
+.IP "\fB-h\fP" 
+Display a brief usage statement ("help")\&.
+.IP "\fB-v\fP" 
+show version info, then exit
+.IP "\fB-m\fP" 
+monochrome mode (no ANSI escapes)
+.IP "\fB-c <cols>\fP" 
+Sets the number of columns wide to make the display
+.IP "\fB-r <rows>\fP" 
+Sets the number of rows high to make the display
+(these two options combine to override the default behavior of
+auto-determining screen size)
+.IP "\fB-i <seconds>\fP" 
+Alter the number of seconds in the interval between
+refreshes\&.  The default is 4, and the minimum is 1, which is silently
+clamped\&.
