[Outputting a time_t value to something legible] > $ date -r 1000000000 > Sun Sep 9 13:46:40 NZST 2001 How do you get this to work? $ date -r 1000000000 date: 1000000000: No such file or directory Exit 1 $ date --version date (coreutils) 4.5.8 In fact, both man date and date --help say -r, --reference=FILE display the last modification time of FILE I.e. -r does not output a time_t value, it outputs the date of the given file/dir. Is there a simple way to convert this time value number into a readable time (other than by using python, or writing a C wrapper)?
