CF(1)CF(1)NAMEcf - unix time to formated time and date filter
SYNOPSIScf [-f fmt] [-lpsu] [file ...]
DESCRIPTION
This filter reads the named files (or from stdin if there are none) and
replaces numeric timestamps found at the beginning of each line with a
formated time and date time and date. For example:
% echo '1074558944 default format' | cf
Jan 19 16:35:44 default format
The CFTIMEARGS environment variable can be used to specify a default
set of flags. However, this is only honored if no flags are specified
on the command line. Also, the only escapes recognized are ', " and \.
OPTIONS-f fmt Specify a strftime(1) format string. For example:
% echo '1074558944 custom format' | cf-f %F-%T
2004-01-19-16:35:44 custom format
Using an empty format causes cf to revert to its default format
("%b %e %T").
-l Use the long format which appends the year ("%Y"). For example:
% echo '1074558944 long format' | cf-l
Jan 19 16:35:44 2004 long format
-p Preserve sub-second timestamp info. For example:
% echo '1100980501.867105 preserve format' | cf-p
Nov 20 11:55:01.867105 preserve format
-s Do strict checking of the timestamp. The number is only consid‐
ered to be a valid timestamp and converted if it 9 or more char‐
acters long and contains one or less dots.
-u Format using UTC (Coordinated Universal) instead of local time.
