     -b          : Display current value as space if zero, rather than lowest ‘value’ of theme.
     -c <num>    : Current value of your indicator.
     -d          : Enable debug output.
     -e <int>    : Number of decimal places to use for accessibility mode (default=$default_decimal_places).
     -h          : Show this help.
     -i          : Invert colour scheme (rating themes only).
     -l          : List available themes. If ‘-t’ also specified, show all values for specified theme.
     -m <num>    : Minimum value (default=$min_default).
     -n          : Supress output of newline character.
     -p          : Permissive mode – if current value out of bounds, set it to the nearest bound (min or max).
     -q          : Suppress messages (requires ‘-t’).
     -r          : Reverse ‘direction’ of display (rating theme only).
     -t <theme>  : Name of theme (default=$theme_default).
     -u <chars>  : Specify a user theme (2 or more values).
     -w <int>    : Width of rating theme (default=$width_default).
     -x <num>    : Maximum value (default=$max_default).

     

    EXAMPLES

    Display character representing 27% using default theme.
      byobu-ulevel 27

    As above.
      byobu-ulevel -c 27

    Example showing floating-point and negative values.
      byobu-ulevel -c 1.100001 -m -5.00234 -x 2.71828 -t dice_6

    Use accessibility mode to display a percentage value (rounded to nearest percentage)
      byobu-ulevel -m -22.613 -x 5.00212 -c 0.10203 -a -e 0

    Display value using a "rating theme" (displayed left-to-right).
      byobu-ulevel -c 83 -t stars_2

    Display right-to-left inverted "rating theme".
      byobu-ulevel -c 60 -t diamonds_2 -ri

    Display all glyphs in ‘solid_numbers_a_10’ theme.
      byobu-ulevel -l -t solid_numbers_a_10

    Display a user-specified rating theme 10 glyphs wide.
      byobu-ulevel -c 666.321 -m -273.15 -x 1370 -u "· ☢" -w 10

    A multi-element user theme (this prints ‘e’).
      byobu-ulevel -c 50 -u "a b c d e f g h i j"

     

    NOTES

    Arguments of type "<int>" denote an integer value, whereas arguments of type "<num>" denotes either an integer or a floating-point number.

    The final ‘_<number>’ in a theme name denotes the number of glyphs in it.

    "Rating themes" are those with only 2 values.

    The <chars> argument to ‘-u’ must contain space-delimited characters.
