 If both -r and a format is passed, the existing timestamps are
 converted to the specified format.
 
+If the -i switch is passed, ts timestamps incrementally instead.  Every
+timestamp will be the time elapsed since the last timestamp.
+The default format changes to "%H:%M:%S", and "%.S" and "%.s" can be used
+as well.
