GNU Info (sh-utils.info)date invocation`date': Print or set system date and time ========================================= `date' with no arguments prints the current time and date, in the format of the `%c' directive (described below). Synopses: date [OPTION]... [+FORMAT] date [-u|--utc|--universal] [ MMDDhhmm[[CC]YY][.ss] ] If given an argument that starts with a `+', `date' prints the current time and date (or the time and date specified by the `--date' option, see below) in the format defined by that argument, which is the same as in the `strftime' function. Except for directives, which start with `%', characters in the format string are printed unchanged. The directives are described below.
