DATE(1)                  DOMAIN/IX SYS5                   DATE(1)



NAME
     date - print the date

USAGE
     date [ +format ]

DESCRIPTION
     Date prints the current date and time.  If you specify an
     argument beginning with a plus (+), the output of date is
     user-controlled.  The output format is similar to that of
     the first argument to printf(3S).  All output fields are of
     fixed size (zero padded if necessary).  Each field descrip-
     tor is preceded by % and is replaced in the output by its
     corresponding value.  A single % is encoded by %%.  All
     other characters are copied to the output without change.
     The string is always terminated with a newline character.

CAUTIONS
     The DOMAIN/IX version of date does not allow you to set the
     system date and time interactively.  Your node must be shut
     down and the DOMAIN calendar stand-alone utility run in
     order to make the change.  Refer to the DOMAIN System Com-
     mand Reference for information on this.
