tai64nlocal(8)                       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 time‐
       stamp 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  local‐
       time  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  local‐
       time.

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.
