Manpages DATESection: Games and Demos (6)Updated: January 1, 1992 Index Return to Main Contents NAMEdate - get and print a dateSYNOPSISdate [-s] [-local] [-k] [-blind] option=value...DESCRIPTIONIf no arguments are given, a date will be selected at random. Providing an argument will restrict the search pool of dates. Hopefully these arguments will not carry forward into the actual date. Only the superuser can select dates by name.The -s option registers you in the date database and (if not -local) posts your vitals to alt.personals (and, optionally, alt.sex.wanted). Using the -k option selects a date, but does not make any further arrangments. Ranges are specified with parentheses and brackets: (18,25) is 18 to 25 exclusive while [18,25] is 18 to 25 inclusive. An array of selections is given with braces such as ``{blonde, brunette, redhead}''. Multiple responses are separated with commas, as in ``sex=female,yes,please''.
