sid

README

The sid program reports the current sidereal time. It needs to know the terrestrial longitude, which can be provided by a flag or by reading a file in the format used by the Plan 9 astro command: one line of text containing the latitude, west longitude, and elevation. (Only the longitude is used.) With a flag, it will also display the Julian date.
