DATE(1) UNIX Programmer's Manual DATE(1)
NAME
date - print and set the date
SYNOPSIS
date [ yymmddhhmm [ .ss ] ]
DESCRIPTION
If no argument is given, the current date and time are printed. If an argument is given, the current date is set. _y_y is the last two digits of the year; the first _m_m is the month number; _d_d is the day number in the month; _h_h is the hour number (24 hour system); the second _m_m is the minute number; ._s_s is optional and is the seconds. For example:
date 10080045
sets the date to Oct 8, 12:45 AM. The year, month and day may be omitted, the current values being the defaults. The system operates in GMT. _D_a_t_e takes care of the conversion to and from local standard and daylight time.
FILES

DIAGNOSTICS
`No permission' if you aren't the super-user and you try to change the date; `bad conversion' if the date set is syntac- tically incorrect.
