nobaby

SYNOPSIS

nobaby [coord] [mod=] [rollover] [iso] [high]

DESCRIPTION

This program reads stdin and converts any fields containing number in babylonian (sexagesimal) format like 12:34:5.6 to decimal (i.e. contains colons). All other fields are passed through without change, except that multiple whitespace characters are converted to single spaces.

coord- reads the string as a coordinate string and prints it as a decimal. The high keyword can be used to add more significant figures to it.

mod= converts the number to its positive modulo.

rollover converts increasing hours to total hours by adding 24 each time there is a backstep.

iso - converts ISO 8601 time string to unix time in seconds. (Sort of useless).
