Usage

Convert Timestamp to Human-Readable Datetime

$ epoch dt <timestamp>

This command converts a given timestamp to a human-readable datetime in both local and GMT timezones.

Example:

$ epoch dt 1617500000000

Convert Human-Readable Datetime to Timestamp

$ epoch ts <datetime>

This command converts a given human-readable datetime to a timestamp, both in seconds and milliseconds.

Example:

$ epoch ts "Jan 1, 2023 12:00:00"

Note:

• For the dt command, if the timestamp is provided in milliseconds, it's automatically detected. Otherwise, it's assumed to be in seconds.
• For the ts command, the datetime should be enclosed in double quotes and follow the format "Month Day, Year Hour:Minute:Second", e.g., "Jan 1, 2023 12:00:00".
• The tool displays both local time and GMT time for better clarity.
