Hi,
I need to convert a number representing time in UTC seconds to a date. Ex:
3BE0082C --> Oct 31 2001 15:31:08
I have tried the following perl command but it gives a different answer?
$ perl -e 'print scalar localtime(shift), "\n"' 3BE00B2C

Hello,
Using AIX6.1 box.
I have UTC time value and need to convert it to local time value - I mean time zone and DST should be taken into consideration.
I hope it could be done using shell environment - I don't want to write a program.
thanks

Okay, so let's say we have a string like:

This represents:
January 5th, 2011 = 20110105
24-hour style time 19:33:45 = 193345
Okay, so we have our time. It's January 5th, 2011 at 19:33:45. I want to convert this time from Eastern Time Zone (which it currently is in)... (1 Reply)

TZFILE(5) BSD File Formats Manual TZFILE(5)
NAME
tzfile -- timezone information
SYNOPSIS
#include <tzfile.h>
DESCRIPTION
The time zone information files used by tzset(3) begin with the magic characters ``TZif'' to identify them as time zone information files,
followed by sixteen bytes reserved for future use, followed by four four-byte values written in a ``standard'' byte order (the high-order
byte of the value is written first). These values are, in order:
tzh_ttisgmtcnt The number of UTC/local indicators stored in the file.
tzh_ttisstdcnt The number of standard/wall indicators stored in the file.
tzh_leapcnt The number of leap seconds for which data is stored in the file.
tzh_timecnt The number of ``transition times'' for which data is stored in the file.
tzh_typecnt The number of ``local time types'' for which data is stored in the file (must not be zero).
tzh_charcnt The number of characters of ``time zone abbreviation strings'' stored in the file.
The above header is followed by tzh_timecnt four-byte values of type long, sorted in ascending order. These values are written in ``stan-
dard'' byte order. Each is used as a transition time (as returned by time(3)) at which the rules for computing local time change. Next come
tzh_timecnt one-byte values of type unsigned char; each one tells which of the different types of ``local time'' types described in the file
is associated with the same-indexed transition time. These values serve as indices into an array of ttinfo structures that appears next in
the file; these structures are defined as follows:
struct ttinfo {
long tt_gmtoff;
int tt_isdst;
unsigned int tt_abbrind;
};
Each structure is written as a four-byte value for tt_gmtoff of type long, in a standard byte order, followed by a one-byte value for
tt_isdst and a one-byte value for tt_abbrind. In each structure, tt_gmtoff gives the number of seconds to be added to UTC, tt_isdst tells
whether tm_isdst should be set by localtime(3) and tt_abbrind serves as an index into the array of time zone abbreviation characters that
follow the ttinfo structure(s) in the file.
Then there are tzh_leapcnt pairs of four-byte values, written in standard byte order; the first value of each pair gives the time (as
returned by time(3)) at which a leap second occurs; the second gives the total number of leap seconds to be applied after the given time.
The pairs of values are sorted in ascending order by time.
Then there are tzh_ttisstdcnt standard/wall indicators, each stored as a one-byte value; they tell whether the transition times associated
with local time types were specified as standard time or wall clock time, and are used when a time zone file is used in handling POSIX-style
time zone environment variables.
Finally there are tzh_ttisgmtcnt UTC/local indicators, each stored as a one-byte value; they tell whether the transition times associated
with local time types were specified as UTC or local time, and are used when a time zone file is used in handling POSIX-style time zone envi-
ronment variables.
localtime uses the first standard-time ttinfo structure in the file (or simply the first ttinfo structure in the absence of a standard-time
structure) if either tzh_timecnt is zero or the time argument is less than the first transition time recorded in the file.
