.Tp Ar hhmm
The time of day is in the form
.Ar hhmm
where
.Ar hh
is a time in
hours (on a 12 or 24 hour clock), and
.Ar mm
are minutes.
All times are converted to a 12 hour clock, and assumed to
be in the next 12 hours.
.Tp Ic \&+
If the time is preceeded by `+', the alarm will go off in hours and minutes
from the current time.
.Tp
.Pp
If no argument is given,
.Nm leave
prompts with "When do you
have to leave?". A reply of newline causes
.Nm leave
to exit,
otherwise the reply is assumed to be a time.
This form is suitable for inclusion in a
.Pa .login
or
.Pa .profile.
.Pp
Leave ignores interrupts, quits, and terminates.
To get rid of it you should either log off or use
.Ql kill \-9
giving its process id.
