Figuring out the remaining seconds left until a certain time with bash?

I'm thinking about extracting the time from the 'date' command, subtracting a certain time in the future from it to get the number of seconds left until 'date' reaches that time, then to divide that number by 60 for minutes, and 60 for hours.
I want to use this as an argument for the 'shutdown' command for example.
how do I do this?

The conversion to a time string could be done directly in bash (less than 24 hours):
$ TZ=UTC0 printf '%(%H:%M:%S)Tn' 123
00:02:03
The time difference could be found with simple math:
$ now=$(printf '%(%s)T')
$ future=$(date -d '+10 hours' '+%s')
$ tdiff=$(( future - now ))
$ TZ=UTC0 printf '%(%H:%M:%S)Tn' "$tdiff"
10:00:00
To get up to 364 days use this:
now=$(printf '%(%s)T')
future=$(date -d '+10 hour' '+%s')
tdiff=$(( future - now ))
j=$(( $(TZ=UTC0 printf '%(%j)T' "$tdiff") - 1 ))
TZ=UTC0 printf '%s days %(%H:%M:%S)Tn' "$j" "$tdiff"
