**Croninfo** is a CLI which provides the functionality of parsing
cron expressions and rendering an output to ease with understanding the schedule
of the cron expression.

The Cron syntax supported is based on the [definition provided by FreeBSD](https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?crontab%285%29).

# Getting Started

**Python 3.7 to 3.10 supported**

To get started, install with pip:

```shell
$ python -m pip install croninfo
```

# Usage

## CLI

To CLI is provided with one command `parse` as can be seen below.
If any doubts you can run `croninfo --help` or `croninfo <command> --help`
for further details.

```shell
$ croninfo parse "10 0 1,15 * 1-3 /usr/bin/find"

```

This will output with consideration to **UTC** by default but you can pass
`--tz-type local` to override to be your local timezone, E.G. `Europe/London`.
As shown below:

```shell
$ croninfo parse "10 0 1,15 * 1-3 /usr/bin/find" --tz-type local
