tai64nlocal - converts precise TAI64N timestamps to a human-readable
format.
tai64nlocal
tai64nlocal reads lines from stdin.
If a line does not begin with @, tai64nlocal writes it to stdout without
change. If a line begins with @, tai64nlocal looks for a timestamp after
the @, in the format printed by tai64n(8)
, and writes the line to stdout
with the timestamp converted to local time in ISO format: YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS.SSSSSSSSS.
For example, in the US/Pacific time zone, the input line
@4000000037c219bf2ef02e94
mark
should be printed as
1999-08-23 21:03:43.787492500 mark
Beware, however, that the current implementation of tai64nlocal relies
on the UNIX localtime library routine to find the local time. Some localtime
implementations use a broken time scale that does not account for leap
seconds. On systems that use the Olson tz library (with an up-to-date leap-second
table), you can fix this problem by setting your time zone to, e.g, right/US/Pacific
instead of US/Pacific.
Beware also that most localtime implementations
are not Y2038-compliant.
tai64nlocal does not allocate any memory after
it starts, except possibly inside localtime.
tai64nlocal exits
0 when it sees end of input. It exits 111 without an error message if it
has trouble reading stdin or writing stdout.
