DESCRIPTION

This utility is similar to Unix seq command, except that it generates a sequence of dates.

OPTIONS

* marks required options.

Main options

--business

Only list business days (Mon-Fri), or non-business days.

--business6

Only list business days (Mon-Sat), or non-business days.

--date-format=s, -f

strftime() format for each date.

Default is `%Y-%m-%d`, unless when hour/minute/second is specified, then it is `%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S`.

--from=s*

Starting date.

--header=s

Add a header row.

--increment=s, -i
--limit=s, -n

Only generate a certain amount of numbers.

--reverse, -r

Decrement instead of increment.

--to=s

End date, if not specified will generate an infinite* stream of dates.

Output options

--format=s

Choose output format, e.g. json, text.

Default value:

undef
--json

Set output format to json.

--naked-res

When outputing as JSON, strip result envelope.

Default value:

0

By default, when outputing as JSON, the full enveloped result is returned, e.g.:

[200,"OK",[1,2,3],{"func.extra"=>4}]

The reason is so you can get the status (1st element), status message (2nd element) as well as result metadata/extra result (4th element) instead of just the result (3rd element). However, sometimes you want just the result, e.g. when you want to pipe the result for more post-processing. In this case you can use `--naked-res` so you just get:

[1,2,3]

Other options

--help, -h, -?

Display help message and exit.

--version, -v

Display program's version and exit.

COMPLETION

This script has shell tab completion capability with support for several shells.

bash

To activate bash completion for this script, put:

complete -C dateseq dateseq

in your bash startup (e.g. ~/.bashrc). Your next shell session will then recognize tab completion for the command. Or, you can also directly execute the line above in your shell to activate immediately.

It is recommended, however, that you install modules using cpanm-shcompgen which can activate shell completion for scripts immediately.

tcsh

To activate tcsh completion for this script, put:

complete dateseq 'p/*/`dateseq`/'

in your tcsh startup (e.g. ~/.tcshrc). Your next shell session will then recognize tab completion for the command. Or, you can also directly execute the line above in your shell to activate immediately.

It is also recommended to install shcompgen (see above).

other shells

For fish and zsh, install shcompgen as described above.
