Support extra time units in delay specification

[dastergon]

At the moment when using the --delay option in tcset, you can only set time to milliseconds. According to the tc man page , it supports microseconds and seconds too. It would be great to have support for those time units plus minutes which could be easily converted to one of the supported time units.

Examples:

e.g. Set 100ms network latency

# tcset --device eth0 --delay 100ms

e.g. Set 100s network latency

# tcset --device eth0 --delay 100s

e.g. Set 1m network latency

# tcset --device eth0 --delay 1m

Thanks,

Thank you for your suggestion.

That surely makes more easy to set delay time.
I will consider that feature for the next release.

@dastergon
I've added support for time units at tcconfig 0.15.0.
Now, you can use the following time units:

us/usec/usecs/microsecond/microseconds
ms/msec/msecs/millisecond/milliseconds
s/sec/secs/second/seconds
m/min/mins/minute/minutes

@thombashi thanks for the quick update! I tested it and works as expected!

Thank you for testing.
I'll close the issue then.
