Utility for displaying the current time using the Misalian Seximal Units with Kunimunean Extensions.
$ echo `rn` `rn -b` `rn -s` &&
15:43:01.1 1543011 154
$ rn 8:24:36
20:34:05.0rn also supports using the system time zone instead of UTC using the -l/--local flag:
$ echo `rn -l` `rn -lb` `rn -ls`
55:43:01.1 5543011 554rn currently supports three output formats: snapshot form, extended snapshot form, and span form. Each output format is in base six.
snapshot form -b/--basic is the number of snaps that have elapsed since midnight, zero-padded to take up seven digits. There are two hundred and seventy-nine thousand, nine hundred and thirty-six snaps in a day. Because of how the units are specified, removing the delimiters from extended snapshot form produces snapshot form.
$ rn --basic 8:24:36
2034050Extended snapshot form is the default output format. It is printed as a string of the format lp:ll:mt.sn, where:
lp: The current lapse. There are thirty-six lapses in a day. Zero-padded to two digits.ll: The current lull. There are thirty-six lulls in a lapse. Zero-padded to two digits.mt: The current moment. There are thirty-six moments in a lull. Zero-padded to two digits.sn: The current snap. There are six snaps in a moment. One digit.
$ rn 8:24:36
20:34:05.0Span form -s/--span is the number of spans that have elapsed since midnight, zero-padded to take up three digits. There are two hundred and sixteen spans in a day. Because of how the units are specified, the three digits of span form are also the first three digits of extended snapshot form; that is, 20:34:05.0 is within span 203.
$ rn --span 8:24:36
203The Misalian Seximal Units were devised by jan Misali, with extensions by Justin Kunimune. The snapshot and span forms are based on the formats used by the iOS app seximal.
