db-iris is an interface to the DeutscheBahn departure monitor
available at L<https://iris.noncd.db.de/wbt/js/index.html>.

It requests all departures at I<station> and lists them on stdout, similar to
the big departure screens installed at most main stations. I<station> can be
a DS100 station code (such as "EE"), a normal station name
(such as "Essen Hbf" or "Dortmund UniversitE<auml>t"), or an IBNR / european station
number (such as 8000098). If no exact match is found, B<db-iris> will try to
find station names similar to I<station>.

An exclamation mark (C<< ! >>) next to a destination indicates that at least
one stop on the train's route has been canceled. Use B<-oc> to see the canceled
stops.  An exclamation mark next to a platform indicates that it is not the
scheduled one.
It requests all trains departing from (or arriving at) I<station> in the next
two hours and lists them on stdout.  I<station> can be a DS100 station code
(such as "EE"), a normal station name (such as "Essen Hbf" or "Dortmund
UniversitE<auml>t"), or an IBNR / european station number (such as 8000098). If
no exact match is found, B<db-iris> will try to find station names similar to
I<station>.

By default, db-iris shows the following data for each train:

=item * scheduled departure time (see also B<-ot>, B<-r>).

=item * delay in minutes, cancellation, or a question mark (C<< ? >>)
indicating that no real-time data is available.

=item * train line or number.

=item * destination (see also B<-or>). An exclamation mark (C<< ! >>)
indicates that at least one stop has been cancelled (see B<-oc>).

=item * platform. An exclamation mark (C<< ! >>) indicates that it is not
