b0cb98e238 DESCRIPTION was not updated for the new SYNOPSIS. 2004-05-16 21:33:48 +00:00
Brian Feldman
640c4d40fb Give date(1) a much better SYNOPSIS section which is useful as more than
decoration.  Further improvements are welcome, but at least this
is a separate of the various modes of operation date has, as well as
sectioning off the two deprecated options for settimeofday(tz) that
don't even apply to actual operation of date as such, anyway.

c4d9468ea0 mdoc(7) police:
Avoid using parenthesis enclosure macros (.Pq and .Po/.Pc) with plain text.
Not only this slows down the mdoc(7) processing significantly, but it also
has an undesired (in this case) effect of disabling hyphenation within the
entire enclosed block.

eba53b965a Try to clean the manpage up according to the mail from Sheldon
in committers (Message-Id: <72836.964344168@axl.ops.uunet.co.za>).

Also cleaned up a .Pq macro which was causing problems previous
to the original update I made.

b4a3a03827 Expand the -r option to support hex. Though undocumented, the -r
option already supported octal. Add a comment to the -r option
in the man page so it's a bit more specific.

60ad2ab574 As per request by sheldonh and others on IRC, seperate language and mdoc
fixes (very important in this case).  Version 1.40 should be discarded.

This version includes the language diffs.  To receive them, use
cvs diff [-u] -r 1.39 -r 1.41

3bc1b1bb27 the month and three days are up for -hackers and the 24hrs for -committers.
add a -j flag that tells date not to try to set the date.  This allows you
to use date as a userland interface to strptime.

example:
TZ=GMT date -j -f "%a, %d %b %Y %T %Z" "Sun, 08 Nov 1998 02:22:20 GMT" +%s

which is the standard format for Last-modified headers in HTTP requests.
