Respected Colleagues:
Is it possible to call a C Function from the command line, or,
better yet, from within a Bourne shell script? In looking for
a way to convert from Unix epoch time (i.e., '1048997466')
to human time, I came upon the ctime() function:
# man ctime
...
The ctime() function converts the time pointed to by clock,
representing the time in seconds since the Epoch (00:00:00
UTC, January 1, 1970), to local time in the form of a 26-
character string as shown below.
...
However, I obviously can't run ctime() from the command
line because it's not a physical binary anywhere in my PATH:
# ctime 1048997466
ctime: not found
# which ctime
no ctime in ...[truncated path]...
I've always wanted to learn C, and while I know this list is not
the venue for that, maybe someone would be kind enough to
shed some light on my query. I personally don't think this is
possible, but a co-worker insisted it was. I promise
to summarize!
Thanks a millio... er, an epoch!
;-)
