             If any of y, m, or d are 0, the current value will be used for
             that period. If the date is not specified and the time is already
             past, tomorrow's date will be used.

When the time has expired this program will simply exit. If the /B or /C
switches are specified a CTRL-BREAK or CTRL-C event will be sent to the console
group before exiting.

If /W is specified the program will continue to run until interrupted. The exit
code will identify the type of interruption.
