it's funny, i was probably looking at the source to the plan 9 date
command as you were writing that...
it's perhaps an interesting example. i was looking back in the dump
file system and wanted to know the exact modification times of some of
the files there. ls changes its format for files older than 6 months,
so:
% cd /n/dump/2003/0916/usr/rog/limbo/schedule
% ls -l scheduler.b
--rw-r--r-- M 30 rog rog 10183 Sep 15 2003 scheduler.b
% cat /dev/time
1081276575 1081276575299952521 8847783936768 305454592 %
% fc 1081276575 6 30 24 60 60 x x x x -
1065724575
% ramfs
% echo -n ' 1065724575 1065724575299952521 8847783936768 305454592' > /tmp/time
% > /tmp/bintime; chmod 000 /tmp/bintime
% bind -b /tmp /dev
% date
Thu Oct 9 19:36:15 BST 2003
% ls -l scheduler.b
--rw-r--r-- M 30 rog rog 10183 Sep 15 22:07 scheduler.b
%
and there i was, back in time 6 months, and the files display
their full timestamp as desired.
how pleasant it is to be using a system where almost all resources
are malleable, including time itself!
