man sdate (Commandes) - never ending September date
NAME
sdate - never ending September date
SYNOPSIS
sdate [-l|--lib library] [--] [command]
DESCRIPTION
sdate runs a command in an environment wherein it wraps the libc localtime() and gmtime() calls such that the program will use the eternal September date. The wrapper functions are in a shared library /usr/lib/libsdate/libsdate.so* which is loaded through the LD_PRELOAD mechanism of the dynamic loader. (See ld.so(8))
OPTIONS
- -l library, --lib library
- Specify an alternative wrapper library.
- [--] command
- Any command you want to be ran. Use -- if in the command you have other options that may confuse sdate's option parsing.
- -h
- Display help.
- -v
- Display version.
FILES
/usr/lib/libsdate/* The shared library containing the wrapper functions.
ENVIRONMENT
LD_PRELOAD
LIMITATIONS
- Library versions
- Every command executed within sdate needs to be linked to the same version of the C library as sdate itself.
