lh9ed821d2023-04-07 01:36:19 -07001This matches if the packet arrival time/date is within a given range. All
2options are optional, but are ANDed when specified.

8Only match during the given time, which must be in ISO 8601 "T" notation.
9The possible time range is 1970-01-01T00:00:00 to 2038-01-19T04:17:07.
10.IP
11If \-\-datestart or \-\-datestop are not specified, it will default to 1970-01-01
12and 2038-01-19, respectively.

17.IP
18Only match during the given daytime. The possible time range is 00:00:00 to
1923:59:59. Leading zeroes are allowed (e.g. "06:03") and correctly interpreted
20as base-10.
21.TP
22[\fB!\fR] \fB\-\-monthdays\fP \fIday\fP[\fB,\fP\fIday\fP...]
23.IP
24Only match on the given days of the month. Possible values are \fB1\fR
25to \fB31\fR. Note that specifying \fB31\fR will of course not match
26on months which do not have a 31st day; the same goes for 28- or 29-day
27February.
28.TP
29[\fB!\fR] \fB\-\-weekdays\fP \fIday\fP[\fB,\fP\fIday\fP...]
30.IP
31Only match on the given weekdays. Possible values are \fBMon\fR, \fBTue\fR,
32\fBWed\fR, \fBThu\fR, \fBFri\fR, \fBSat\fR, \fBSun\fR, or values from \fB1\fR
33to \fB7\fR, respectively. You may also use two-character variants (\fBMo\fP,
34\fBTu\fR, etc.).
35.TP
36\fB\-\-utc\fP
37.IP
38Interpret the times given for \fB\-\-datestart\fP, \fB\-\-datestop\fP,
39\fB\-\-timestart\fP and \fB\-\-timestop\fP to be UTC.
40.TP
41\fB\-\-localtz\fP
42.IP
43Interpret the times given for \fB\-\-datestart\fP, \fB\-\-datestop\fP,
44\fB\-\-timestart\fP and \fB\-\-timestop\fP to be local kernel time. (Default)

46EXAMPLES. To match on weekends, use:
47.IP
48\-m time \-\-weekdays Sa,Su
49.PP
50Or, to match (once) on a national holiday block:
51.IP
52\-m time \-\-datestart 2007\-12\-24 \-\-datestop 2007\-12\-27
53.PP
54Since the stop time is actually inclusive, you would need the following stop
55time to not match the first second of the new day:
56.IP
57\-m time \-\-datestart 2007\-01\-01T17:00 \-\-datestop 2007\-01\-01T23:59:59
58.PP
59During lunch hour:
60.IP
61\-m time \-\-timestart 12:30 \-\-timestop 13:30
62.PP
63The fourth Friday in the month:
64.IP
65\-m time \-\-weekdays Fr \-\-monthdays 22,23,24,25,26,27,28
66.PP
67(Note that this exploits a certain mathematical property. It is not possible to
68say "fourth Thursday OR fourth Friday" in one rule. It is possible with
69multiple rules, though.)
