NAME blue - Creates table of when the blue hour etc. occurs SYNPOSIS blue [-d delev]* [-D delev]* [-e elev]* [-m elev]* [-h [-L] | -u | -L] [-l lat:lon | -l loc] [-s year-month-day | -s -] [-r num[h|m|s]] [-bBgGnN] DESCRIPTION blue prints a list of time point when the select event occurs. OPTIONS -b List the time when the blue hour begins. (default) -B List the time when the blue hour ends. -d DELEV List the time when the first derivative of the Sun's elevation is DELEV and the Sun's elevation is non-negative (daytime). -D DELEV List the time when the first derivative of the Sun's elevation is DELEV and the Sun's elevation is non-positive (nighttime). -e ELEV List the time when the Sun's elevation is ELEV and the first derivative of the Sun's elevation is non-positive (evening). -g List the time when the golden hour begins. -G List the time when the golden hour ends. -h Print times in human readable format. -l LATITUDE:LONGITUDE Tell blue where you are. The values are measured in degrees and in the GPS (you probably do not have too care about that, the differences between the systems should not be significant another), and must be in decimal. Reminder for Americans (particularly US Americans), you are an the western hemisphere, not the eastern, thus your longtiude is negative. If you experience weird time listings, 100 % of the times it is because you forgot the minus sign. But no need to feel stupid, it is a really common mistake. No complicated stuff please, only latitudes within ±90° and longitudes within ±180°. No unit thought. -l LOCATION Use a named location. In particular, the one stored in the file ~/.config/geolocation.d/LOCATION, or the file LOCATION, if it begins with either ./ (dot slash), ../ (dot dot slash), or / (slash). By default ~/.config/geolocation, or /etc/geolocation as a fallback, is used. -L Print times in local time. -e ELEV List the time when the Sun's elevation is ELEV and the first derivative of the Sun's elevation is non-negative (morning). -n List the time of solar noon. -N List the time of solar midnight. -r RES Print the in RES resultion. RES must be an integer followed by on the the suffixes: h hours m minutes (min is not a valid suffix) s seconds For example: -r 15m prints the nearest quarters of the times. -s DATE The last date (local time) to include in the last. DATE must be in %Y-%m-%d (year dash month dash day) format. A dash (-) for an infinite list. Default limit is one month. -u Print times in UNIX-time format. FILES ~/.config/geolocation Used to get your location if -l is not used. This file contains your geographical location using the Global Positioning System in decimal format. This will never change. Other programs are encouraged to use this file too. If the file contains more than one line, only the first line, even if it is empty, is used. /etc/geolocation Fallback file use if ~/.config/geolocation is missing. Other programs are encouraged to use this file too. ~/.config/geolocation.d/ Directory used for named locations. The files are formatted in the same way as ~/.config/geolocation. Other programs are encouraged to use this directory too. /etc/geolocation.d/ Directory used for named locations, used when the named location is not listed in ~/.config/geolocation.d/. The files are formatted in the same way as ~/.config/geolocation. Other programs are encouraged to use this directory too. RATIONALE This is useful if you plan to take nice photographies, for example during the blue hours, or the golden hour. But mostly, I just made this because I could. NOTES US Americans, remember, you are on the Western Hemisphere. Therefore, you should specify a negative longitude. SEE ALSO locateme(1)
