+simple tool to repeat a shell command automatically
+
+detailed behavior:
+	clear the screen, execute [command], wait 0.1 seconds, repeat. exit immediatly on strong break.
+
+usage:
+	repeat [command]
+
+	note: if the [command] has spaces in it (for example - passing parameters to the program), remember to surround it with quotes
+example:
+	repeat date
+		repeat the date command, so you will have a terminal with the date at the top left
+	repeat "ls -l"
+		repeatedly list all of the files in the working directory, to see if a new one appears, or the access time changes
+	repeat ./repeat
+		uh oh
+
+
+
+todo:
+	define behavior for repeat without options
+	take command line input for time to wait before repeating
+	clean exit
+	style this page like a man page (im not gonna make it an actual man page though, because this is just a few lines of c in one executable)
