NAME

       mactime - Create an ASCII time line of file activity

SYNOPSIS

       mactime [-b body ] [-g group file ] [-p password file ] [-i (day|hour) index file ] [-dhmVy] [-z TIME_ZONE ] [DATE_RANGE]

DESCRIPTION

       mactime	creates  an  ASCII time line of file activity based on the body file specified by '-b' or from STDIN.  The time line is written to
       STDOUT.	The body file must be in the time machine format that is created by 'ils -m', 'fls -m', or the mac-robber tool.

ARGUMENTS

       -b body
	      Specify the location of a body file.  This file must be generated by a tool such as 'fls -m' or  'ils  -m'.   The  'mac-robber'  and
	      'grave-robber' tools can also be used to generate the file.

       -g group file
	      Specify the location of the group file.  mactime will display the group name instead of the GID if this is given.

       -p password file
	      Specify the location of the passwd file.	mactime will display the user name instead of the UID of this is given.

       -i day|hour index file
	      Specify the location of an index file to write to.  The first argument specifies the granularity, either an hourly summary or daily.
	      If the '-d' flag is given, then the summary will be separated by a ',' to import into a spread sheet.

       -d     Display timeline and index files in comma delimited format.  This is used to import the data into a spread sheet	for  presentations
	      or graphs.

       -h     Display header info about the session including time range, input source, and passwd or group files.

       -V     Display version to STDOUT.

       -m     The month is given as a number instead of name.

       -y     The date range is given with the year first.

       -z TIME_ZONE
	      The timezone from where the data was collected.  The name of this argument is system dependent (examples include EST5EDT, GMT+1).

       DATE_RANGE
	      The range of dates to make the time line for.  The standard format is yyyy-mm-dd for a starting date and no ending date. For an end-
	      ing date, use yyyy-mm-dd..yyyy-mm-dd.
