DATE(1)			    General Commands Manual		       DATE(1)

NAME
       date, clock - date and time

SYNOPSIS
       date [ option ] [ seconds ]
       clock

DESCRIPTION
       Print the date, in the format

	    Tue	Aug 16 17:03:52	CDT 1977

       The options are

       -u     Report Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) rather than local time.

       -n     Report  the  date	 as  the  number  of  seconds since the	epoch,
	      00:00:00 GMT, January 1, 1970.

       The conversion from Greenwich Mean Time to local	time  depends  on  the
       $timezone environment variable; see ctime((3)).

       If  the optional	argument seconds is present, it	is used	as the time to
       convert rather than the real time.

       Clock draws a simple analog clock in its	window.
