Special thanks to: Pavel Krizka, Jim Fitzmaurice, and Gordon Lawson.
The number is a time from the UNIX Epoch of 00:00:00 1/1/1970 (Which, by
the way, will die for 32 bit time keepers after 22:14:07 1/18/2038)
Gordon provided the script and info below which does just what I need to
convert that time.
/* Filename: /home/gordonl/toys/figure_time.c */
/* This program attempts to figure the time, given an argument in */
/* seconds since 1970. */
# include <time.h>
# include <stdio.h>
# include <stdlib.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
int x;
char *y;
time_t *timer;
if(argc < 2){
printf("Usage: %s number Where number is seconds past 1970\n", argv[0]);
printf("Remember that this is time based on GMT, i.e. -6 hours here
(Houston)\n");
exit(0);
}
/*
printf("%s %s\n", argv[0], argv[1]);
*/
x = atoi(argv[1]);
timer = &x;
y = ctime(timer);
/* Same as y = asctime(localtime(timer)); */
printf("%s\n", y);
return(0);
} /* main() */
This works, but I know it's not pretty... What do ya want for free?!? ;)
Compile with: cc figure_time.c -o figure_time
To use: figure_time number_to_convert
(You might want to change the usage message to your area...)
If you can't get it to work, let me know... I'm assuming you know at least
some programming, text editing, etc that a sys-admin knows.
