💖 rktime(1) — the general commands manual, but make it cute 💖

okay bestie, welcome to rktime, a little command line utility that lives in section 1 of the manual (that's the "general commands" girlies, iykyk) and does exactly one thing but does it so well. she shows you the time in multiple timezones at once. no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

rktime — display time in multiple timezones 🕐🌍

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

rktime [options]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. no positional args, just options, slay.

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

rktime is a command line utility which displays the time in multiple timezones in an easy-to-read way, and it uses color to help indicate which locations are currently in business hours. so like, instead of doing mental math across six timezones at 9am, you just run her and she tells you who's awake and who's not. main character energy fr fr. 💅

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

the following options are supported:

  • --nocolor, -n — do not display color. monochrome moment, she's going minimal 🙈
  • --color — display color. this is the default, so if you do nothing, you get the rainbow ✨🌈
  • --key, -k — print explanatory key information, aka the little legend that tells you what all the colors mean 🗝️
  • --12h, -p — show time in 12 hour format. am/pm girlies rise 🕛
  • --24h, -h — show time in 24 hour format. this is the default, military time bestie, no ambiguity 🕛🕛
  • --offsets, -z — display offsets from UTC, eg +0900 is 9 hours ahead 🌐
  • --nooffsets — do not display offsets. this is the default 🚫
  • --test, -t — show test output 🧪
ngl the defaults are doing a lot of heavy lifting here: color ON, 24h ON, offsets OFF. so if you just run rktime with zero flags, that's the whole default vibe check. 👑

📁 FILES 📁

  • /etc/rktime.conf (5)

she reads her config from there. section 5 of the manual if you wanna go deeper, bestie 📖
