+.I timestamp
+should be an integer value, that represent seconds since the Epoch.
+.PP
+If 
+.I timestamp 
+is ommited, it will default to 0, which has the effect, that the 
+begin of the Epoch will be shown.
+.PP
+The format of the date string depends on 
+.BR ctime (3).
+.PP
+Normal output goes to stdout, errors and warnings to stderr.
