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
     /usr/adm/wtmp       to record time-setting

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.
