| Summary | 0001819: Gut of the `date` spec is gone. | ||||
| Description | The specification of the `date` utility is now missing all those %-format specifiers. | ||||
| Desired Action | Add the %-format specifiers and any other what's missing back. | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||
|
|
The `date` page says When the format is specified, the output shall be formatted as if by strftime() with the specified format string, and a timeptr argument that is the equivalent of localtime(&now) if −u is not specified or gmtime(&now) if −u is specified, where now is an object of type time_t containing the return value of time(0). This avoids having to keep the `strftime()` page and the `date` page in sync. Given that this is a standard document, rather than a reference manual, that suffices; if a given system wants to offer a date man page that describes the format specifiers, and make sure it's in sync with `strftime()`, they may do so. |

Re note-6713, Fair enough. Sorry for not noticing the "operand" section, I too dislike unnecessary duplication. Please close as rejected. |
