The --date=STRING is a mostly free format human readable date string
|
|
such as "Sun, 29 Feb 2004 16:21:42 -0800" or "2004-02-29 16:21:42" or
|
|
even "next Thursday". A date string may contain items indicating
|
|
calendar date, time of day, time zone, day of week, relative time,
|
|
relative date, and numbers. An empty string indicates the beginning
|
|
of the day. The date string format is more complex than is easily
|
|
documented here but is fully described in the info documentation.
