NAME

stardate - display current Stardate  

SYNOPSIS

stardate [ -dn ]  

DESCRIPTION

Stardate computes the current Stardate using the algorithm specified by Starfleet Standard NC-C34/32446.7 and displays it on the default logical output node. The -d option specifies that n digits of precision are to be displayed after the decimal point. The minimum (default) value for this parameter is is 1 and the maximum is 7.  

DIAGNOSTICS

If the option or its argument is incorrect, a soft exception occurs and the program is terminated. This program responds to sanity check pulses generated during Level 4 diagnostic passes.  

CAVEATS

Stardate is optimized for use aboard Galaxy and Excelsior class starships, and at all Starbases servicing these classes. The computed Stardate is not guaranteed to be compatible with planetary chronolog systems, and no support for conversion has been provided.
