💖 TIMETRANS(1) — User Contributed Perl Documentation 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the TIMETRANS(1) page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation. it's giving very useful little time converter energy, and we're gonna get through it together. 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

timetrans — Converts time into time

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

  timetrans [units-options] [-count]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

timetrans converts time from one type of unit to another. literally its whole thing. 💅

If you specify any of the units options, then timetrans will convert those time units into the number of seconds they add up to. If you give it the count option instead, it converts that number of seconds into the appropriate number of weeks, days, hours, minutes, and seconds. The converted result gets printed out. ✨

⚠️ bestie, listen: units options cannot be specified in the same execution as the count option, and vice versa. pick a lane, no mixing. 💀

timetrans is intended for use with DNSSEC-Tools, for calculating a zone's expiration time. iykyk. 🎀

💅 OPTIONS 💅

🎀 Units Options 🎀

The converted value of each unit is totaled and a single result printed. so you can stack them and get one cute little total. 🌸

• -seconds seconds — Count of seconds to convert to seconds.
• -minutes minutes — Count of minutes to convert to seconds.
• -hours hours — Count of hours to convert to seconds.
• -days days — Count of days to convert to seconds.
• -weeks weeks — Count of weeks to convert to seconds.

🍓 Count Option 🍓

The specified seconds count is converted to the appropriate number of weeks, days, hours, minutes, and seconds. it's like reverse-engineering the time soup. 🍓

• -count seconds — Count of seconds to convert to the appropriate set of units.

🧚 Other Options 🧚

timetrans has the following miscellaneous options. lil extras, no cap. ✨

• -Version — Displays the version information for timetrans and the DNSSEC-Tools package.
