- <title>Parsing Timestamps</title>
-
- <para>When parsing systemd will accept a similar
- timestamp syntax, but excluding any timezone
- specification (this limitation might be removed
- eventually). The weekday specification is optional,
- but when the weekday is specified it must either be
- in the abbreviated (<literal>Wed</literal>) or
- non-abbreviated (<literal>Wednesday</literal>) English
- language form (case does not matter), and is not
- subject to the locale choice of the user. Either the
- date, or the time part may be omitted, in which case
- the current date or 00:00:00, resp., is assumed. The
- seconds component of the time may also be omitted, in
- which case ":00" is assumed. Year numbers may be
- specified in full or may be abbreviated (omitting the
- century).</para>
-
- <para>A timestamp is considered invalid if a weekday
- is specified and the date does not actually match the
- specified day of the week.</para>
-
- <para>When parsing, systemd will also accept a few
- special placeholders instead of timestamps:
- <literal>now</literal> may be used to refer to the
- current time (or of the invocation of the command
- that is currently executed). <literal>today</literal>,
- <literal>yesterday</literal>,
- <literal>tomorrow</literal> refer to 00:00:00 of the
- current day, the day before or the next day,
- respectively.</para>
-
- <para>When parsing, systemd will also accept relative
- time specifications. A time span (see above) that is
- prefixed with <literal>+</literal> is evaluated to the
- current time plus the specified time
- span. Correspondingly, a time span that is prefixed
- with <literal>-</literal> is evaluated to the current
- time minus the specified time span. Instead of
- prefixing the time span with <literal>+</literal> or
- <literal>-</literal>, it may also be suffixed with a
- space and the word <literal>left</literal> or
- <literal>ago</literal>.</para>
