TS(1)
NAME
ts - timestamp input
SYNOPSIS
ts [-r] [format]
DESCRIPTION
ts adds a timestamp to the beginning of each line of input.
The optional format parameter controls how the timestamp is formatted,
as used by strftime(3). The default format is "%b %d %H:%M:%S". In
addition to the regular strftime conversion specifications, "%.S" is
expanded to fractional seconds (ie, "30.00001").
If the -r switch is passed, it instead converts existing timestamps in
the input to relative times, such as "15m5s ago". Many common timestamp
formats are supported. Note that the Time::Duration and Date::Parse
perl modules are required for this mode to work. Currently,A converting
localized dates is not supported.
If both -r and a format is passed, the existing timestamps are
converted to the specified format.
ENVIRONMENT
The standard TZ environment variable controls what time zone dates are
assumed to be in, if a timezone is not specified as part of the date.
