convert-to-local-time is undocumented #364

Open aspiers opened 7 years ago

aspiers commented 7 years ago

The tcsh_history format contains:

    "convert-to-local-time" : true,

but this is totally undocumented. It is the only format which contains that option. Looking through the git history, it seems that it was previously called local-time, and its implementation originally lived within the tcsh_history_format before being converted into a general option via 9b8ceb5cb0fd2e1. This comment seems pertinent:

        /*
         * NB: We convert any displayed dates to gm time, so we need to
         * convert this time to local and then back to gmt.
         */

but I don't yet understand what's going on.

BTW if someone can explain this then I can try to document it correctly.
