CONVDATE(1)CONVDATE(1)NAMEconvdate - convert time/date strings and numbers
SYNOPSISconvdate [ -c ] [ -n ] [ -s ] arg...
DESCRIPTION
Convdate translate the date/time strings specified as arguments on its
command line, outputing the results one to a line.
If the ``-s'' flag is used, then each argument is taken as a date
string to be parsed by parsedate(3) and is output as a string formatted
by ctime(3). This is the default.
If the ``-n'' flag is used, then each argument is converted the same
way but is output as a time_t; see time(2).
If the ``-c'' flag is used, then each argument is taken to be a time_t
and is output in ctime format.
For example,
% convdate 'feb 10 10am'
Sun Feb 10 10:00:00 1991
% convdate 12pm 5/4/90
Fri Dec 13 00:00:00 1991
Fri May 4 00:00:00 1990
% convdate-n 'feb 10 10am' '12pm 5/4/90'

% convdate-c 666198000
