DATETIME -- Shell command line date-time syntax 83/08/01
Many commands require you to specify a date and/or time of day as an
argument to certain command options. $ LD -DTM 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.
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
