Time And Date
In computing, DATE is a command in DOS, OS/2 and Windows that is used to display and set the current date of the operating system. This command is available in command line interpreters (shells) such as COMMAND.COM, CMD.EXE, 4DOS, 4OS2 and 4NT.
In Unix, the date command displays and sets both the time and date, in a similar manner. In Windows PowerShell, date is a short form for the Get-Date Cmdlet which returns the current system time object. The Set verb of the Cmdlet is used to set both date and time.

Famous quotes containing the words time and/or date:
“With wonderful art he grinds into paint for his picture all his moods and experiences, so that all his forces may be brought to the encounter. Apparently writing without a particular design or responsibility, setting down his soliloquies from time to time, taking advantage of all his humors, when at length the hour comes to declare himself, he puts down in plain English, without quotation marks, what he, Thomas Carlyle, is ready to defend in the face of the world.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“In the South, the war is what A.D. is elsewhere: they date from it.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
