| Description |
|
Calulates Magnetic Local Time (UTC) for a given Universal Coordinated Time (UTC) and magnetic longitude. The output is written to standard output using the formatting string given by the "-fmt" option. The format string should be in the same format as that used by the printf function and will take one double precision floating point number as an argument.
If the "-f" option is given, the time and longitude are read from a space separated ASCII file. If the filename is "-" input is read from standard input.
