NAME
     cf - unix time to formated time and date filter

SYNOPSIS
     cf [-f fmt] [-lpsu] [file ...]

DESCRIPTION
     This filter reads the named files (or from stdin if there are none) and re-
     places  numeric  timestamps found at the beginning of each line with a for-
     mated time and date time and date. For example:

	    % echo '1074558944 default format' | cf
	    Jan 19 16:35:44 default format

     The CFTIMEARGS environment variable can be used to specify a default set of
     flags.  However, this is only honored if no flags are specified on the com-
     mand line. Also, the only escapes recognized are ', " and \.

OPTIONS
     -f fmt
	    Specify a strftime(1) format string. For example:

		   % echo '1074558944 custom format' | cf -f %F-%T
		   2004-01-19-16:35:44 custom format

	    Using an empty format causes cf to	revert	to  its  default  format
	    ("%b %e %T").

     -l     Use the long format which appends the year ("%Y"). For example:

		   % echo '1074558944 long format' | cf -l
		   Jan 19 16:35:44 2004 long format

     -p     Preserve sub-second timestamp info. For example:

		   % echo '1100980501.867105 preserve format' | cf -p
		   Nov 20 11:55:01.867105 preserve format

     -s     Do	strict	checking of the timestamp. The number is only considered
	    to be a valid timestamp and converted if it  9  or	more  characters
	    long and contains one or less dots.

     -u     Format using UTC (Coordinated Universal) instead of local time.
