slashtime(1) User commands slashtime(1)NAME
Shashtime - Display the time in various places.
SYNOPSIS
slashtime [--hidden]
DESCRIPTION
A small program which displays the time in various places. It has a compact display of locations along with supporting information such as
the date and the abbreviated code used to name that timezone.
Time data displayed will be as accurate as the system's zoneinfo data is used. Somewhat unusually, Slashtime shows the offset from the
current location, not from UTC. When running you can change the center point by double-clicking on another city. There is a meeting plan-
ner built into Slashtime. You can specify a date and time and see what the corresponding time in other locations will be.
OPTIONS
Only one option is available:
--hidden
Do not maximize the window at startup.
BUGS
No bugs.

%A locale's full weekday name, variable length (Sunday..Saturday)
%b locale's abbreviated month name (Jan..Dec)
%B locale's full month name, variable length (January..December)
%c locale's date and time (Sat Nov 04 12:02:33 EST 1989)
%C century (year divided by 100 and truncated to an integer) [00-99]
%d day of month (01..31)
%D date (mm/dd/yy)
%e day of month, blank padded ( 1..31)
%F same as %Y-%m-%d
%g the 2-digit year corresponding to the %V week number
%G the 4-digit year corresponding to the %V week number
%h same as %b
%H hour (00..23)
%I hour (01..12)
%j day of year (001..366)
%k hour ( 0..23)
%l hour ( 1..12)

%P locale's lower case am or pm indicator (blank in many locales)
%r time, 12-hour (hh:mm:ss [AP]M)
%R time, 24-hour (hh:mm)
%s seconds since `00:00:00 1970-01-01 UTC' (a GNU extension)
%S second (00..60); the 60 is necessary to accommodate a leap second
%t a horizontal tab
%T time, 24-hour (hh:mm:ss)
%u day of week (1..7); 1 represents Monday
%U week number of year with Sunday as first day of week (00..53)
%V week number of year with Monday as first day of week (01..53)
%w day of week (0..6); 0 represents Sunday
%W week number of year with Monday as first day of week (00..53)
%x locale's date representation (mm/dd/yy)
%X locale's time representation (%H:%M:%S)
%y last two digits of year (00..99)
%Y year (1970...)
%z RFC-822 style numeric timezone (-0500) (a nonstandard extension)
%Z time zone (e.g., EDT), or nothing if no time zone is determinable
By default, date pads numeric fields with zeroes. GNU date recognizes the following modifiers between `%' and a numeric directive.
`-' (hyphen) do not pad the field `_' (underscore) pad the field with spaces
ENVIRONMENT
TZ Specifies the timezone, unless overridden by command line parameters. If neither is specified, the setting from /etc/localtime is
used.
