epochs-cli

Command-line interface to the epochs crate

This takes strings off the command line and tries to interpret them as dates using the various methods that the epochs crate knows.

Install with

bash $ cargo install epochs-cli

This installs a binary called just epochs.

```bash $ epochs --help epochs-cli 0.2.0 Command line options for epochs

USAGE: epochs [FLAGS] [OPTIONS] [candidates]...

FLAGS: -d, --debug Activate debug mode -h, --help Prints help information -V, --version Prints version information -v, --verbose Verbose mode (-v, -vv, -vvv, etc.)

OPTIONS: --max Don't report dates after this [default: 2100-12-31] --min Don't report dates before this [default: 2000-01-01] -o, --output-format Desired format for output [default: text] [possible values: JSON, JsonPretty, Text]

ARGS: ... Strings to test for epochness ```

Give it a number and it tries to interpet it as a date.

```bash $ epochs 1234567890

1234567890 Decimal cocoa => 2040-02-14T23:31:30 google calendar => 2007-03-16T23:31:30 unix => 2009-02-13T23:31:30

```

Use the --max and --min options to change the amount of output.

```bash $ epochs 1234567890 --min=1900-01-01 --max=2020-12-31

1234567890 Decimal apfs => 1970-01-01T00:00:01.234567890 google calendar => 2007-03-16T23:31:30 java => 1970-01-15T06:56:07.890 mozilla => 1970-01-01T00:20:34.567890 unix => 2009-02-13T23:31:30

1234567890 Hexadecimal apfs => 1970-01-01T00:01:18.187493520 java => 1972-06-23T22:44:53.520 mozilla => 1970-01-01T21:43:07.493520 ```

You can give it more than one thing to search for at a time.

```bash $ epochs 39857.980209 1234567890 33c41a44-6cea-11e7-907b-a6006ad3dba0

39857.980209 Float icq => 2009-02-13T23:31:30.057

1234567890 Decimal cocoa => 2040-02-14T23:31:30 google calendar => 2007-03-16T23:31:30 unix => 2009-02-13T23:31:30

33c41a44-6cea-11e7-907b-a6006ad3dba0 UUIDv1 UUIDv1 => 2017-07-20T01:24:40.472634 windows file => 2035-10-07T01:24:40.472634 ```

It uses serde to give the output in JSON if you prefer.
