NAME
       convdate - convert time/date strings and numbers

SYNOPSIS
       convdate [ -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'
	      666198000
	      641880000

	      % convdate -c 666198000
	      Sun Feb 10 10:00:00 1991
