DATE(1)                          User Commands                          DATE(1)

NAME
        date - display or set the system date and time

SYNOPSIS
        date [-s [yyyy/mm/dd] [hh:mm[:ss]]]

DESCRIPTION
        If no parameters are specified the date and time will be displayed
        in the yyyy/mm/dd hh:mm:ss format.  If the -s option is specified
        without any additional parameters the unix epoch time will be printed,
        which is the number of seconds since the beginning of 1970.

        If the -s option is specified with additional parameters the date
        and/or time can be set by specifying either the date, time or both.
        The date and time can be specified in either order, and the seconds
        parameter is optional when specifying the time.
