✨ cs_convert_time(8) ✨

okay so bestie, we're in the ClusterTools2 house today and the star of the show is cs_convert_time — she's an 8th-section (admin/privileged) command and she does exactly one thing but she does it iconically. 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

cs_convert_time — literally just converts a date/time string between Unix Epoch and wall clock, no cap 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

cs_convert_time <date/time string>

⭐ DESCRIPTION ⭐

So here's the vibe: cs_convert_time converts date/time strings between Unix Epoch and wall clock 🔥

And the way it works? The script is lowkey a genius — it tries to figure out the desired direction from the format of the given argument 🧚 She reads your string, she clocks the format, and she knows which way you're going. main character energy fr fr 👑

🎀 EXIT STATUS 🎀

  • 0 — successful program execution. we slayed. ate and left no crumbs 💖
  • >0 — usage, syntax or execution errors [insert sad trombone] 😭

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

  • convert a given Unix Epoch time into wall clock date/time 🕰️
# cs_convert_time 484422540
  • convert a given wall clock date/time into Unix Epoch time ⏳
# cs_convert_time "Wed May 08 19:49:00 CEST 1985"
  • convert current wall clock date/time into Unix Epoch time ✨ (yes bestie, live and current, obsessé)
# cs_convert_time $(LANG=C date)

💜 FILES 💜

  • /usr/sbin/cs_convert_time — the program itself. that's her. that's the girl 🫶

💀 BUGS 💀

wall clock time needs to be in format LANG=C. that's the rule, ngl. if you don't give her LANG=C she's gonna be confused and honestly same 🙈
