SYD-UTC(1)

💖 NAME 💖

okay bestie, meet syd-utc — the star of the syd-utc(1) manual page — and she prints UTC date and time in JSON format. periodt. 👑

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

syd-utc

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So like, the syd-utc utility prints UTC date and time. The info comes out in line-oriented JSON format, and it may be further mangled with tools such as jq(1) — yes, “mangled” is literally the word the page uses, and honestly it’s giving iconic 😭💅.

The source of the information is the Realtime Clock using clock_gettime(2). no cap, that’s the whole vibe. 🕰️✨
