hextime is a hexadecimal representation of the actual number of seconds which have passed since the Unix epoch (exactly midnight of 1 January 1970 UTC). Unlike some other measures of time, hextime does not include leap seconds; hextime is intended to be a linear measure of real time.
hextime-bash is an implementation of hextime in the bash scripting language.
This version ships with a copy of the IETF list of leap second offsets, but it will currently prompt the user to redownload the list from the IETF website if the list is a year old. At some point, I'd rather change the URL to a dedicated mirror.
