datetime
A date and/or time conversion tool (like
printf
but for date and time values)
Pass date/time value as a parameter:
datetime --in "format" --out "format" --value "date/time" -> <stdout>
Read date/time value from STDIN:
<stdin> -> datetime --in "format" --out "format" -> <stdout>
Output current date and time:
» datetime: --in "{now}" --out "{go}01/02/06 15:04:05"
12/08/21 22:32:30
Convert STDIN into epoch:
» echo "12/08/21 22:32:30" -> datetime: --in "{go}01/02/06 15:04:05" --out "{unix}"
