This is needed if you want to run both bird and bird6 on the same port. + <tag>timeformat route|protocol|base|log "<m/format1/" [<m/limit> "<m/format2/"]</tag> + This option allows to specify a format of date/time used by + BIRD. The first argument specifies for which purpose such + format is used. <cf/route/ is a format used in 'show route' + command output, <cf/protocol/ is used in 'show protocols' + command output, <cf/base/ is used for other commands and + <cf/log/ is used in a log file. + + "<m/format1/" is a format string using <i/strftime(3)/ + notation (see <i/man strftime/ for details). <m/limit> and + "<m/format2/" allow to specify the second format string for + times in past deeper than <m/limit/ seconds. There are two + shorthands: <cf/iso long/ is a ISO 8601 date/time format + (YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss) that can be also specified using <cf/"%F + %T"/. <cf/iso short/ is a variant of ISO 8601 that uses just + the time format (hh:mm:ss) for near times (up to 20 hours in + the past) and the date format (YYYY-MM-DD) for far times. This + is a shorthand for <cf/"%T" 72000 "%F"/. + + By default, BIRD uses an short, ad-hoc format for <cf/route/ + and <cf/protocol/ times, and a <cf/iso long/ similar format + (DD-MM-YYYY hh:mm:ss) for <cf/base/ and <cf/log/. These + defaults are here for a compatibility with older versions + and might change in the future. + <tag>table <m/name/</tag> Create a new routing table.
