tai64nlocal(8)                                     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 sec-
       onds. 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.
