NAME¶
sdate - never ending September date
SYNOPSIS¶
sdate [-e|--epoch yyyy-mm] [-l|--lib library]
[--] [command]
DESCRIPTION¶
sdate runs a command in an environment wherein it wraps the libc
localtime() and gmtime() calls such that the program will use the eternal
September date. The wrapper functions are in a shared library
/usr/lib/libsdate/libsdate.so* which is loaded through the
LD_PRELOAD mechanism of the dynamic loader. (See ld.so(8))
OPTIONS¶
- -e yyyy-mm, --epoch yyyy-mm
- Specify an alternative epoch, default is 1993-09.
- -l library, --lib library
- Specify an alternative wrapper library.
- [--] command
- Any command you want to be ran. Use ‘--’ if in the command
you have other options that may confuse sdate's option parsing.
- -h
- Display help.
- -v
- Display version.
FILES¶
/usr/lib/libsdate/* The shared library containing the wrapper functions.
LIMITATIONS¶
- Library versions
- Every command executed within sdate needs to be linked to the same
version of the C library as sdate itself.
COPYING¶
