NAME

6       ts - timestamp input
7

SYNOPSIS

9       ts [-r] [format]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       ts adds a timestamp to the beginning of each line of input.
13
14       The optional format parameter controls how the timestamp is formatted,
15       as used by strftime(3). The default format is "%b %d %H:%M:%S". In
16       addition to the regular strftime conversion specifications, "%.S" is
17       expanded to fractional seconds (ie, "30.00001").
18
19       If the -r switch is passed, it instead converts existing timestamps in
20       the input to relative times, such as "15m5s ago". Many common timestamp
21       formats are supported. Note that the Time::Duration and Date::Parse
22       perl modules are required for this mode to work. Currently,A converting
23       localized dates is not supported.
24
25       If both -r and a format is passed, the existing timestamps are
26       converted to the specified format.
27

ENVIRONMENT

29       The standard TZ environment variable controls what time zone dates are
30       assumed to be in, if a timezone is not specified as part of the date.
