About:
Dateutils is a command-line toolset for parsing, manipulating, and converting dates and times, particularly suited for financial data workflows. It handles various calendar formats and time zones, allowing for efficient batch processing of date ranges found in logs or reports. The utility excels at date arithmetic and formatting, providing a robust alternative to complex shell scripts.

Key Features:

Robust date arithmetic and shifting
Support for multiple calendar formats (e.g., Julian, Hijri)
Flexible parsing of date strings from input streams
Timezone-aware conversions

Use Cases:

Calculating maturity dates for financial instruments
Batch renaming log files based on date offsets
Converting historical timestamps between timezones

Alternatives:

date (GNU coreutils) – Standard utility, but lacks advanced financial calendar support and complex range parsing.
joda-time / Noda-Time – Libraries for developers, whereas dateutils provides a direct CLI interface for system administrators.
