There is important information about booting non-ack images in docs/UPDATING. ack/aout-format images can't be built any more, and booting clang/ELF-format ones is a little different. Updating to the new boot monitor is recommended. Changes in this commit: . drop boot monitor -> allowing dropping ack support . facility to copy ELF boot files to /boot so that old boot monitor can still boot fairly easily, see UPDATING . no more ack-format libraries -> single-case libraries . some cleanup of OBJECT_FMT, COMPILER_TYPE, etc cases . drop several ack toolchain commands, but not all support commands (e.g. aal is gone but acksize is not yet). . a few libc files moved to netbsd libc dir . new /bin/date as minix date used code in libc/ . test compile fix . harmonize includes . /usr/lib is no longer special: without ack, /usr/lib plays no kind of special bootstrapping role any more and bootstrapping is done exclusively through packages, so releases depend even less on the state of the machine making them now. . rename nbsd_lib* to lib* . reduce mtree

.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Nm
|
|
displays the current date and time when invoked without arguments.
|
|
Providing arguments will format the date and time in a user-defined
|
|
way or set the date.
|
|
Only the superuser may set the date.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The options are as follows:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Ds
|
|
.It Fl a
|
|
Use
|
|
.Xr adjtime 2
|
|
to change the local system time slowly,
|
|
maintaining it as a monotonically increasing function.
|
|
.Fl a
|
|
implies
|
|
.Fl n .
|
|
.It Fl d Ar date
|
|
Parse the provided human-described date and time and display the result without
|
|
actually changing the system clock.
|
|
(See
|
|
.Xr parsedate 3
|
|
for examples.)
|
|
.It Fl j
|
|
Parse the provided canonical representation of date and time (described below)
|
|
and display the result without actually changing the system clock.
|
|
.It Fl n
|
|
The utility
|
|
.Xr timed 8
|
|
is used to synchronize the clocks on groups of machines.
|
|
By default, if
|
|
timed
|
|
is running,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will set the time on all of the machines in the local group.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fl n
|
|
option stops
|
|
.Nm
|
|
from setting the time for other than the current machine.
|
|
.It Fl r Ar seconds
|
|
Print out the date and time that is
|
|
.Ar seconds
|
|
from the Epoch.
|
|
.It Fl u
|
|
Display or set the date in
|
|
.Tn UTC
|
|
(universal) time.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
An operand with a leading plus
|
|
.Pq Cm +
|
|
sign signals a user-defined format
|
|
string which specifies the format in which to display the date and time.
|
|
The format string may contain any of the conversion specifications described
|
|
in the
|
|
.Xr strftime 3
|
|
manual page, as well as any arbitrary text.
|
|
A \*[Lt]newline\*[Gt] character is always output after the characters
|
|
specified by the format string.
|
|
The format string for the default display is:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
%a %b %e %H:%M:%S %Z %Y
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If an operand does not have a leading plus sign, it is interpreted as
|
|
a value for setting the system's notion of the current date and time.
|
|
The canonical representation for setting the date and time is:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Ds -compact -offset indent
|
|
.It Ar CC
|
|
The first two digits of the year (the century).
|
|
.It Ar yy
|
|
The second two digits of the year.
|
|
If
|
|
.Ar yy
|
|
is specified, but
|
|
.Ar CC
|
|
is not, a value for
|
|
.Ar yy
|
|
between 69 and 99 results in a
|
|
.Ar CC
|
|
value of 19.
|
|
Otherwise, a
|
|
.Ar CC
|
|
value of 20 is used.
|
|
.It Ar mm
|
|
The month of the year, from 01 to 12.
|
|
.It Ar dd
|
|
The day of the month, from 01 to 31.
|
|
.It Ar HH
|
|
The hour of the day, from 00 to 23.
|
|
.It Ar MM
|
|
The minute of the hour, from 00 to 59.
|
|
.It Ar SS
|
|
The second of the minute, from 00 to 61.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Everything but the minutes is optional.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Time changes for Daylight Saving and Standard time and leap seconds
|
|
and years are handled automatically.
|
|
.Sh ENVIRONMENT
|
|
The following environment variables affect the execution of
|
|
.Nm :
|
|
.Bl -tag -width iTZ
|
|
.It Ev TZ
|
|
The timezone to use when displaying dates.
|
|
See
|
|
.Xr environ 7
|
|
for more information.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh FILES
|
|
.Bl -tag -width /var/log/messages -compact
|
|
.It Pa /etc/localtime
|
|
Symlink pointing to system's default timezone information file in
|
|
.Pa /usr/share/zoneinfo
|
|
directory.
|
|
.It Pa /var/log/wtmp
|
|
A record of date resets and time changes.
|
|
.It Pa /var/log/messages
|
|
A record of the user setting the time.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh EXAMPLES
|
|
The command:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
date '+DATE: %m/%d/%y%nTIME: %H:%M:%S'
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
will display:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
DATE: 11/21/87
|
|
TIME: 13:36:16
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The command:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
date 8506131627
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
sets the date to
|
|
.Dq Li "June 13, 1985, 4:27 PM" .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The command:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
date 1432
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
sets the time to
|
|
.Li "2:32 PM" ,
|
|
without modifying the date.
|
|
.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
|
|
Exit status is 0 on success, 1 if unable to set the date, and 2
|
|
if able to set the local date, but unable to set it globally.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Occasionally, when
|
|
.Xr timed 8
|
|
synchronizes the time on many hosts, the setting of a new time value may
|
|
require more than a few seconds.
|
|
On these occasions,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
prints:
|
|
.Ql Network time being set .
|
|
The message
|
|
.Ql Communication error with timed
|
|
occurs when the communication
|
|
between
|
|
.Nm
|
|
and
|
|
timed
|
|
fails.
