NAME


datefudge - pretend the system time is different

SYNOPSIS


datefudge [-s|--static] at_date program [arguments ...]

DESCRIPTION


datefudge is a small utility that pretends that the system time is different by pre-
loading a small library which modifies the time(2), gettimeofday(2) and clock_gettime(2)
system calls.

DATE FORMAT


The at_date argument can be given in any format accepted by the date(1) program, for
example "2007-04-01 12:21" or "yesterday", or "next Friday".

OPTIONS


--static, -s
Mark the date as a `static' one. The above mentioned system calls will always
return the date given in the at_date argument, regardless of time passing. See
EXAMPLES
below.

--help, -h
Print short usage information and exit.

--version, -v
Print version information and exit.

EXAMPLES


Basic examples:
$ datefudge "2007-04-01 10:23" date -R
Sun, 01 Apr 2007 10:23:00 +0200

$ datefudge "1 May 2007" date -R
Tue, 01 May 2007 00:00:00 +0200

$ datefudge "2 weeks ago" date -R
Wed, 16 Jan 2008 13:32:12 +0100

Non-static vs. static example:
$ datefudge "2007-04-01 10:23" sh -c "sleep 3; date -R"
Sun, 01 Apr 2007 10:23:03 +0200

$ datefudge --static "2007-04-01 10:23" sh -c "sleep 3; date -R"
