Date (Unix)
The Unix date command displays and sets the time and date of the system clock. Setting the clock is restricted to the superuser.
The Single Unix Specification (SUS) mandates only one option: -u, where the date and time is printed or set in Coordinated Universal Time, as if the timezone were UTC+0. Other Unix and Unix-like systems provide extra options.

Famous quotes containing the word date:
“We, when we sow the seeds of doubt deeper than the most up-to- date and modish free-thought has ever dreamed of doing, we well know what we are about. Only out of radical skepsis, out of moral chaos, can the Absolute spring, the anointed Terror of which the time has need.”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
