USAGE
jdc { -j | -d | -D } options [ format-options ] date-record
or
proc | jdc { -j | -d | -D } -i options [ format-options ]


PURPOSE:  Convert Julian date to Kalendar or vice versa or re-format Kalendar dates.
          Replace / inject / generate date records
          In the second form, proc may generate a list of date records or,
         
more generally, records with dates embedded.

  OBS!    In perl scripts, chomp($r = `jdc -m0 options ...`)
          chomp() and option -m0 are required,
          else the resulting string will end with char(0)\n.

Default input format: The date record may be a bare date or a string containing a date.
Give year with four digits, the rest with two digits but with -k4, millisecond with three digits.
Three delimiters are possible: blank, comma, slash.    
 
If given on the command line, the string that is processed is concatenated with
one blankspace between each part. Formatting options are available to adapt other layouts.

The predecessor program JDC is obsolete (it's still in use on Brimer)
CHANGES w.r.t. JDC:
No RJD nor full JD.
No Time Zone option. 
More logic in the options.
More clarity in output record construction.

Still missing: UTC leap-seconds (really? What would we expect in a date conversion?)

ARGUMENTS / OPTIONS:
Compulsory:

 -j[i][D][{y|h|s|f}]] ...  
               - Convert Julian date x to kalendar form.

                 In the -ji case, x is read as an integer.
       D or  d - Output date as year and day-of-year.

             y - Output date as a floating-point year, format f15.8
             h - Output date, ending with a floating-point hour, format f12.6
             f - Output date down to the fractional second
             s - Output date and time of day as a fractional second (format f10.3) 

 -d[y|D][{I|i}][{h|s}][[{C|c}]yyyy,mm,dd[,hh[,mi[,se[,fff]]]]]   ...   yyyy mm dd [hh [mi [se [fff]]]]
 -d
[y|D]M[s] ...   yyyy mm dd [hh [mi [se [fff]]]]
               - Convert kalendar form to Julian date
             y - input date (above in red) is a floating-point year.
       D or  d - input date as year and day-of-year: yyyy doy
                
Tolerable delimiters besides ` ´ are `-´ `,´ `.´ `_ ´ and `:´
                
(doy concerns the target date, not the reference date.
                
If you want to give the reference date as year,doy ,
                
specify yyyy,0,doy  )
             i - output as an integer with format i5.5
             I
- output as an integer with format *
                 The date

     [M]h [M]s - without M, scale output with 24 or 86400, respectively.
                 With M, output integer Julian day and floating point
                 hour [default] or, with s, second, respectively.

             c - in a loop (option -L), cut at this date.
             C -
in a loop, cut at this date and subtract this date.
                 Don't use c or C unless -L is specified.

   date string - (above in black) output relative to ( = "subtract" ) this date.
                 The date string may use `:´ and `-´, and, if quoted, ` ´ as delimiters.
                 Example:
                   jdc -ds"2022-03-16 14:34:27" -k3 2022-03-16 14:56:49
                
returns difference in seconds

 
 -DDY[ffmt] yyyy.yyyy
                 Input decimal year, default ffmt=f10.5, output yyyy mm dd

 -D[D[d]|d[ifmt]][{y|h}ffmt]  yyyy mm dd [hh [mi [se [fff]]]]
               - Output orthodox date (rectified for out-of-range values)
           -Dd - output date as year and day-of-year.
           -DD -  input date as year and day-of-year.
          -DDd - input and output
as year and day-of-year.
 
          -Dy - output floating-point year
           -Dh - output yyyy mm dd and floating-point hour
       -DHffmt -  input yyyy mm dd and floating-point hour

       -DSffmt -  input yyyy mm dd and floating-point second

         
ifmt - the format code pertaining to year month day output
                 In the case of day-of-year output, the month must be overwritten:

                    jdc -DDdi4,
i2,t5,i4 -k3 2014 367 12 10 1
                   
2015 002 12 10 01
          ffmt - the format code, case -Dh including year month day and parentheses,
                 example:

                   jdc -Dh'(i4,2i3.2,f9.6)' -As1246.88 -k4 2017 07 11 07 00 01 190

                   2017 07 11 7.346686

Optional:

 -DB           - Debug printing. Don't expect too much.

 -C[{y|h}fmt]  - Conversion from date to floating-point year (like -Dy) or
                 yyyy mm dd h.hhh
(like -Dh)

 -b#r1[,#r2]   - date part of input string is contained in columns r1..r2
                 Default: 1..end. 

 -i[#c1,#c2,#c3,#c4]
               - read from stdin (file mode). Default: command line
.

 -I[#c1,#c2,#c3,#c4]
               - take input from command line, long string with more than the

                 bare time information.

                 The time field is extracted from an input line and processed.
                 The input line is copied to the output with columns c1..c2 before
                 and c3..c4 after the translated date record.
                 To chop n characters from the end of the string specify c4 = -n-1
                 Delimiter is none by default. Use -m to change.

 -lstring      - Under -I : let lines pass through that offend date decoding
                 but only if they start with string
                
Obvious application: -l'>'

 -m            - Suppress the default ASC=0 delimiter (important if output to pipe).
                 (We need a different default, why the heck the ASC 0 !?)

         Changed 2015-04-05 If there's trouble (if char(0) is needed somewhere, we
         must change back or add a char(0)-option, like -m@  

 -m            - trailing delimiter in output is one blankspace
 -m:d
[]]       - delimiter string d, max length 16, to inject after date and time
                 For trailing blanks, enter string as 'd]'
 -mb#n         - blank delimiter, length n

  -m0           - no trailing delimiter, length 0

 -td[]]        - trailing delimiter string d, max length 16, to inject
                 after date and time.
                 For trailing blanks, enter string d with a trailing `]´
 -tb
#n         - blank delimiter, length n

 -kk           - Input and output: depth of hh mm ss fff part. k=0..4

 -n[{i|u}]p... - output month in character form, default: lower-case.
.............i - capitalize initial (Jan Feb etc.)
             u - convert to upper-case.
             p - the position of the month number in the input string

 -N[{i|u}]p,q  - input month in character form, like -n . The month name
                 occupies input string positions p:q 

 -A[h|m|s]j -S[h|m|s]j
               - Add, or subtract
j days to/from date.
.............h - value j is in hours.
.............m - value j is in minutes.
.............s - value j is in seconds.

 -{A|S}ryyyy,mm,dd[,hh[,mm[,ss[,fff]]]]
               - ... output date is relative to this date.
                 Delimiters `-´ and `:´ are tolerated.

  -L#m,#n       - Loop from m to n with time increment specified under -A or -S
                 Example:
                  JDC -D -k3 -Am1 -L0,3 2012 01 06
                 2012 01 06 00 00 00
                 2012 01 06 00 01 00
                 2012 01 06 00 02 00
                 2012 01 06 00 03 00

 -F:fmt        - Input format (avoid outer parentheses), default is
                    [t1,i4,2(1x,i2),1x,2(i2,1x ),i2,1x,i3] 

 -f:fmt        - Output .. , default is
                    (t1, i4, 1h ,i2.2, 1h ,i2.2:, a ,2(i2.2,:,1h ),i2.2,:,1h ,i3.3 )
                 Note the `a´ --------------------^ !
                 There is a delimiter written out at this position. You will need
                 to code this `a´ while the delimiter might be blank or NUL, escaping your notice.
                 (I need to review this; it's ugly, sorry. Also the -m option is a nuisance.)


 -FF           - Reading date with free format (*)

 -FT  -FS      - Input format "tight" or "short", i.e. no delimiters between the
                 parts, "short" meaning 2-digit year
 -FTd -FSd   d - can be any character; a delimiter length 1 is honored between date and time

 -T#c          - Input date-and-time string starts at position c.

 -ft  -fs      - Output format "tight" or "short", i.e. no delimiters between the
                 parts, "short" meaning 2-digit year
                 Cannot be combined with -- or -, or -:  If you need a delimiter
                 between YMD and HMS, ...

 -ftd -fsd     - Use d (single char) as the delimiter between YMD and HMS.
                 Allowed are:  : , - . + / _ b , the latter meaning a whitespace.

                   Default: blank-separated output.

 -B[r]         - Allow leading blanks in output. Replace each leading blank with r

Not implemented yet:
 -s[h]         - kalendar form is yyyy mm dd s with floating-point seconds (hours)


Format redefinitions must occur last of all options. Use these options
if the automatically generated/modified formats are inappropriate.

 -F:fmt        - input format.
 -f:fmt        - output format.

Rectifying out-of-range:
We cannot (yet) accept negative values for year, month nor day
and negative values less than -9 for hour, minute, second.
See example 1.

NOTE:
If the date part on the command line is empty, the program will try input from <stdin>
