FreeBSD has this functionality in date(1):
TZ=UTC date -r 500000000
Tue 5 Nov 1985 00:53:20 UTC
TZ=UTC date -r 1500000000
Fri 14 Jul 2017 02:40:00 UTC
Shouldn't that be
Tue 5 Nov 1985 00:52:57 UTC
Fri 14 Jul 2017 02:39:23 UTC
given that this is UTC (which is 37 seconds behind TAI)?
The delta was closer to 18 in 1985 and 36 on 2017. But that doesn't matter.
Sorry :-)
No. POSIX says leap seconds do not exist for the computation of these
numbers. Greg's numbers are POSIXly correct.
