tai64nlocal(8)         DragonFly System Manager's Manual        tai64nlocal(8)

NAME
       tai64nlocal - converts precise TAI64N timestamps to a human-readable
       format.

SYNOPSIS
       tai64nlocal

DESCRIPTION
       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.

EXIT CODES
       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.
