It counts upward (incrementing by 1, default) or downward (decrementing by 1,
-d) starting at integer BEGIN (-b, default: 0) with a configurable floating
point interval of SECS seconds (-n, default 1.0) until infinity (default) or up
to a maximum number of COUNT intervals (-c). It can operate silently and not
print this counter (-s). It optionally executes a COMMAND per interval which it
can also fork (-f) in case the command is expected to take longer than SECS
seconds.
