## Format of the input files
## Format of the input file
Input for your program consists of the data from the cameras and queries. You
will be **always** given the data from the cameras as a path to a file, whereas
user should be able to specify `-` (i.e. `stdin`) as the path to queries.
:::tip Validation of data
For the sake of simplicity (and partially relieving the time pressure), you
**are not** required to validate the dates you are given on the input (e.g. leap
years, days in months, etc.).
This is caused by the fact that you will be given just a timestamp that you
**don't** need to process in any (other than suggested ways for debugging).

### Data from the cameras
Input for your program consists of the data from the cameras. You will be given
the data from the cameras as a path to a file and user should also be able to
specify `-` (i.e. `stdin`) as the path.
Each “scan” (i.e. reading) of the cameras consists of the following data:
* _camera ID_: non-negative integer identifying a camera
* _plate_: string of unknown length that can consist of any characters apart
from whitespace
* _timestamp_: timedate of the scan as an unsigned integer (represented as a
UNIX time)
* _timestamp_: date and time of the scan as an unsigned integer (represented as
a UNIX time)

There should be always **at least one** space in between each part of the
reading. Reading are separated by the commas, which may, but don't have to, be

accompanied by whitespace around.

### Queries
Querying the processed data is done by providing a license plate. You can expect
that the license plates are separated by `\n` (newline, also known as
_ňjůlajn_) **with no other whitespace around**.

You may encounter these situations (and handle them in the following order):
1. License plate was not found
You are expected to print out the dates and cameras that has captured the
license plate for each of them (in a sorted fashion).
```

If there are multiple scans present and the timespan (i.e. time difference
between the scans is bigger than 60 minutes, you should separate them by a
newline). For example:
In such case, you are expected to print out the dates and cameras that has

Since you are given the timestamp in a `time_t` compatible type on UN\*X, you
can safely use `ctime(3)` for printing the timestamp as a _human readable_ time
when outputting the date and time.
