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 timestamp con-
       verted 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 lo-
       caltime 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-compli-
       ant.

       tai64nlocal does not allocate any memory after it starts, except possi-
       bly 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.
