63 %x locale‘s date representation (e.g., 12/31/99)
64 %X locale‘s time representation (e.g., 23:13:48)
65 %y last two digits of year (00..99)
66 %Y year
67 %z +hhmm numeric time zone (e.g., -0400)
68 %:z +hh:mm numeric time zone (e.g., -04:00)
69 %::z +hh:mm:ss numeric time zone (e.g., -04:00:00)
70 %:::z numeric time zone with : to necessary precision (e.g., -04, +05:30)
71 %Z alphabetic time zone abbreviation (e.g., EDT)
72
73 By default, date pads numeric fields with zeroes.
74 The following optional flags may follow ‘%‘:
75
76 - (hyphen) do not pad the field
77 _ (underscore) pad with spaces
78 0 (zero) pad with zeros
79 ^ use upper case if possible
80 # use opposite case if possible
81
82 After any flags comes an optional field width, as a decimal number;
83 then an optional modifier, which is either
84 E to use the locale‘s alternate representations if available, or
85 O to use the locale‘s alternate numeric symbols if available.
86
87 Examples:
88 Convert seconds since the epoch (1970-01-01 UTC) to a date
89 $ date --date=‘@2147483647‘
90
91 Show the time on the west coast of the US (use tzselect(1) to find TZ)
92 $ TZ=‘America/Los_Angeles‘ date
93
94 Show the local time for 9AM next Friday on the west coast of the US
