🌸 sip-date(1) — General Commands Manual 🌸

okay bestie, welcome to the sip-date page, straight outta the General Commands Manual section, no cap 💅

✨ NAME ✨

sip-date — print or parse a SIP date 🗓️💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

sip-date [-n] [SIP-date | [YYYYy] [DDd] [HHh] [MMm] [SS[s]]]

like… look at that little grammar. iconic. no notes. 👑

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so sip-date is the lil utility that either prints a SIP date or parses one you hand it, and honestly it ate 🍓

when it prints, the format is the one specified by RFC 1123 — BUT plot twist, the timezone must always be GMT. no switching up on us. GMT only. periodt. 🌍

and when you're the one feeding it a date, you got two vibes to choose from:

  • just pass it a SIP date, plain and simple 💌
  • or give the pieces separately: year, day, hour, minutes and seconds, each in its own lil slot 🧩

either way it's giving "I know what time it is" energy fr fr ✨

✨ OPTIONS ✨

the utility takes options like this, bestie:

  • -n — prints the date as seconds elapsed since epoch, where epoch is 01 Jan 1900 00:00:00 ⏳🔥

that's the whole list. one option, zero crumbs, maximum slay 💅

✨ EXAMPLES ✨

Scenario one: you wanna convert the current time to a SIP date 🕰️✨

$ sip-date

boom. done. main character behaviour.

Scenario two: you wanna find out how many seconds there were in the 1900's 👀

$ siptime -n 2000y
3155673600
not me noticing the manpage literally writes siptime in that example and not sip-date 🙈 we are keeping it character for character because facts are facts and we do not edit the source material. iykyk 💀

✨ REPORTING BUGS ✨
