DATETIME Aegis DATETIME
NAME
datetime - shell command line date-time syntax
DESCRIPTION
Many commands require you to specify a date and/or time of day as an
argument to certain command options. $ ld -af date, for instance,
requests information on files modified after a certain date and time.
The general date-time syntax is
[[[yy]yy/]mm/dd][.][hh:mm[:ss]] | today
If the date portion is omitted, today's date is assumed. If the time
portion is omitted, midnight (00:00) is assumed. The time must be
specified in 24-hour format. If both time and date are specified, they
must be separated by a period (.), with no intervening space.
Note: year numbers between 80 and 99 are treated as 1980..1999
year numbers between 00 and 79 are treated as 2000..2079
Examples:
19:00 7 PM today
today midnight today
82/1/1 midnight, January 1, 1982
82/03/23.10:00:01 10:00:01 AM on March 23, 1982
