Utility for displaying the current time using the Misalian Seximal Units with Kunimunean Extensions.

$ echo `rn` `rn -b` `rn -s` && 
15:43:01.1 1543011 154
$ rn 8:24:36
20:34:05.0

rn also supports using the system time zone instead of UTC using the -l/--local flag:

$ echo `rn -l` `rn -lb` `rn -ls`
55:43:01.1 5543011 554

rn currently supports three output formats: snapshot form, extended snapshot form, and span form. Each output format is in base six.

snapshot form -b/--basic is the number of snaps that have elapsed since midnight, zero-padded to take up seven digits. There are two hundred and seventy-nine thousand, nine hundred and thirty-six snaps in a day. Because of how the units are specified, removing the delimiters from extended snapshot form produces snapshot form.

$ rn --basic 8:24:36
2034050

Extended snapshot form is the default output format. It is printed as a string of the format lp:ll:mt.sn, where:

• lp: The current lapse. There are thirty-six lapses in a day. Zero-padded to two digits.
• ll: The current lull. There are thirty-six lulls in a lapse. Zero-padded to two digits.
• mt: The current moment. There are thirty-six moments in a lull. Zero-padded to two digits.
• sn: The current snap. There are six snaps in a moment. One digit.

$ rn 8:24:36
20:34:05.0

Span form -s/--span is the number of spans that have elapsed since midnight, zero-padded to take up three digits. There are two hundred and sixteen spans in a day. Because of how the units are specified, the three digits of span form are also the first three digits of extended snapshot form; that is, 20:34:05.0 is within span 203.

$ rn --span 8:24:36
203

The Misalian Seximal Units were devised by jan Misali, with extensions by Justin Kunimune. The snapshot and span forms are based on the formats used by the iOS app seximal.
