💖 DEBDATE 💖

okay bestie, sit down, because we're about to talk about the iconic little tool called debdate — the manual page is DEBDATE(1) if you wanna be formal about it, but we're besties so it's just debdate to us 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

debdate — the way that it converts Gregorian dates into Debian Regnal dates… it's giving timezone queen, it's giving calendar main character energy 👑

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

debdate [-h] [-d DATE | -s SECONDS] {test} ...

look at her. so compact. so clean. so slay 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so basically, debdate is a fundamental tool for literally anybody who follows the debian calendar, where the years are named after the current stable release. no cap, that's the whole vibe. if you're a debian calendar girlie, this is your girlie 🌸

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -h, --help — shows this help message and dips out (exits). you love to see it 🙈
  • -d DATE, --date DATE — a gregorian date. hand her a date, she'll hand you the regnal one ✨
  • -s SECONDS, --seconds SECONDS — a date expressed as seconds from the Unix Epoch. for the raw-timestamp girlies 🕰️

🔥 EXAMPLES 🔥

debdate

prints the debian regnal date for today. no args, no notes, just vibes ✨

debdate -d 2017-06-18

prints the debian regnal date for the day Stretch was released. a historic moment fr fr 🎀

debdate -s 1497736800

prints the same date as above. same date, different delivery system, still ate 💅

debdate -d 'Jul 18 2017'

prints again the same date as above, but passed in an illogical format 😭 bestie she does not care about your formatting opinions. any string that's recognised as a valid date by dateutil can be used. she's flexible like that 🧚
