.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
For those of us who travel often or coordinate across many timezones,
|
|
working with local time is frequently impractical.
|
|
ISO8601, in all its wisdom, allows for time zone designators,
|
|
but still represents the hours and minutes as local time,
|
|
thus making it inconvenient for quickly comparing timestamps from
|
|
different locations.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Dot time instead uses UTC for all date, hour, and minute indications,
|
|
and while it allows for time zone designators, they are optional
|
|
information that can be dropped without changing the indicated time.
|
|
It uses an alternate hour separator to make it easy to distinguish from
|
|
regular ISO8601.
|
|
When a time zone designator is provided, one can easily obtain
|
|
the matching local time by adding the UTC offset to the UTC time.
|
|
.Sh EXAMPLES
|
|
These timestamps all represent the same point in time.
