cronexpr: command-line utility
==============================
A command-line utility written in Go to evaluate cron time expressions.
It is based on the standalone Go library <https://github.com/gorhill/cronexpr>.
## Install
go get github.com/gorhill/cronexpr
go install github.com/gorhill/cronexpr
## Usage
cronexpr [options] "{cron expression}"
## Options
`-l`:
Go-compliant time layout to use for outputting time value(s), see <http://golang.org/pkg/time/#pkg-constants>.
Default is `"Mon, 02 Jan 2006 15:04:05 MST"`
`-n`:
Number of resulting time values to output.
Default is 1.
`-t`:
Whole or partial RFC3339 time value (i.e. `2006-01-02T15:04:05Z07:00`) against which the cron expression is evaluated. Examples of valid values include (assuming EST time zone):
`13` = 2013-01-01T00:00:00-05:00
`2013` = 2013-01-01T00:00:00-05:00
`2013-08` = 2013-08-01T00:00:00-05:00
`2013-08-31` = 2013-08-31T00:00:00-05:00
`2013-08-31T12` = 2013-08-31T12:00:00-05:00
`2013-08-31T12:40` = 2013-08-31T12:40:00-05:00
`2013-08-31T12:40:35` = 2013-08-31T12:40:35-05:00
`2013-08-31T12:40:35-10:00` = 2013-08-31T12:40:35-10:00
Default time is current time, and default time zone is local time zone.
## Examples
#### Example 1
Midnight on December 31st of any year.
Command:
cronexpr -t="2013-08-31" -n=5 "0 0 31 12 *"
Output (assuming computer is in EST time zone):
# "0 0 31 12 *" + "2013-08-31T00:00:00-04:00" =

#### Example 2
2pm on February 29th of any year.
Command:
cronexpr -t=2000 -n=10 "0 14 29 2 *"
Output (assuming computer is in EST time zone):
# "0 14 29 2 *" + "2000-01-01T00:00:00-05:00" =
