hr - a <hr> for your terminal!

hr prints a horisontal bar in your terminal. Useful when you run a
chain of commands that might produce a lot of output and you need to
differentiate where a given output is coming from.

    -c,    --char       Character to use
    -s,    --size       Number of columns
    -pre,  --pre        Pad the left side with whitespace n
    -post, --post       Pad the right side with whitespace n
    -fg,   --fg         Foreground color to use, int 0-255
    -bg,   --bg         Background color to use, int 0-255
    -b,    --bold       Use bold
    -i,    --italic     Use italics
    -u,    --underline  Use underline
    -r,    --reverse    Use reverse video

    -h,    --help       Display this help and exit
    -m,    --man        Display the manual and exit
    -v,    --version    Display version info and exit
