NAME
	timeprefix - Prefix the current time to each line

SYNOPSIS
	timeprefix

DESCRIPTION
	timeprefix ignores all arguments. It reads stdin line by line
	and prefix the current time (at the point the line has been
	fully read) to each line and prints the prefixed line to stdout.

	The timestamp is written in both decimal boot time and
	human-readable real time (in UTC), with with boot time first so
	that muliple generated log files can merged into one with
	sort --merge.

	timeprefix also marks when the program started and terminated.
