- convertclock dateString [GMT|{}] [baseClock]
- Convert dateString to an integer clock value (see
- getclock). This command can parse and convert
- virtually any standard date and/or time string, which
- can include standard time zone mnemonics. If only a
- time is specified, the current date is assumed. If the
- string does not contain a time zone mnemonic, the local
- time zone is assumed, unless the GMT argument is
- specified, in which case the clock value is calculated
- assuming that the specified time is relative to
- Greenwich Mean Time. If baseClock is specified, it is
- taken as the current clock value. This is useful for
- determining the time on a specific day. Some examples
- are:
-
- convertclock "14 Feb 92"
- convertclock "Feb 14, 1992 12:20 PM PST"
- convertclock "12:20 PM, Feb 14, 1992"
