Date

There are two different options to represent dates.

1. First YYYY-MM-DD_HH

• Example: -s 2023-4-01_18

2. Second Days from now (signed integers)

• Example 1: -s -5 (5 days ago)
• Example 2: -e 4 (in 5 days)

Format

You can customize the format as you want with these arguments:

• [year]
• [month]
• [day]
• [hour]
• [minute]
• [second]

For more Information read this and you can also find the complete argument list here. You can put basically anything in the string.

Example: -o "[second]:[minute]_[unix_timestamp] [weekday repr:short],[day]"

Day Range

You can customize the range when to pick the hours with this. 24 is no valid hour.

• Example 1: -d "5-12"

Choose values from 5:00 to 11:59

• Example 2: -d "0-0"

If you put the same values twice, it means that every hour is possible

• Example 3: -d "3-1"

Will fail, because start is bigger than end

3. Examples

1. apd -i input.txt -s -7

start last week, end now

2. apd -i sources.txt -s 2023-02-01_00 -e -1 output.txt
