Options are -v, --version to show program's version; and -h, --help to show usage of a program.

price is a price per kWh. wattage is how many Watts being consumed. interval is for how long.

interval is in seconds, but you can specify a unit. Units are the following: m for minutes; h for hours; and d for days. There could be as many intervals passed as you need.

Here is an example:
