BASH Date Library

History

This was created when I needed a lot of date manipulation routines to create a script test suite for something I was working on at the time.
This is certainly not the cleanest library, in the last 10 years my scripting knowledge has got to the point I can think of many things that can be done to clean this up; but I don't use it any more so won't.
If you think it may be usefull to you it's yours to use.

Requirements

This requires BASH as it makes extensive use of bash string functions. It will not work under sh, csh or ksh; it requires bash.

Download and Documentation

• documentation online
• the script library datelib_ksh script library
• the datelib_test script which is the test/verification script for it that you should run whenever you make a change to the library

Support notes

I seldom use this library so have no intention of cleaning it up or providing any future enhancements other than to keep my Fedora and CentOS scripts running.
