 Posted: Wed Feb 27, 2008 9:21 am Post subject: find date format |
 |
|
I usually use the following gnu find parameters to print out the date. This allows me to easily sort by date.
| Code: | | find . -type f -printf '%TY-%Tm-%Td %TH:%TM:%TS %u %g %m %p\n'|sort |
This used to result in the following output:
| Code: | | 2008-02-27 09:16:14 bludger users 755 ./<filename> |
On a more recently updated system, however, the same command produces the following:
| Code: | | 2008-02-27 00:15:22.0000000000 bludger users 644 ./<filename> |
I don't want to see fractional seconds. What has changed here, what can I do to fix it?

Did some testing for you.
this appears to be a bug/change in findutils in attempts to gain nano second granularity
You can submit a bug to them, but you will need to download to get your desired result
sys-apps/findutils-4.2.31
worked for me

| Code: | find . -type f -printf '%TY-%Tm-%Td %TH:%TM:%TS %u %g %m %p\n' | sort | sed -e 's/\.[0-9]\{10,10\}//'
find . -type f -printf '%TF %TT %u %g %m %p\n' | sort | sed -e 's/\.[0-9]\{10,10\}//' |

So apparently need was too strong of a word 
i really do think findutils should provide both
as even the %TT now doesn't match their documentation and, IMHO, seconds with out decimal places is more useful., I wonder if it has to do with some change in strftime and the findutils maintainers like it that way.

Agreed, at least documented options should function as they are documented to.
