#date

Version 0.1.2. See the support record for release evidence.

Print or format a timestamp:

moonx cli/date -u -d '@0' '+%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ'
TZ=Asia/Shanghai moonx cli/date -d '@0' '+%H:%M %z %Z'
moonx cli/date -u -d '@-0.5' --iso-8601=ns

-u/--utc selects UTC. Otherwise TZ selects a named TZif zone, an absolute TZif path, or a POSIX timezone with explicit DST rules. With no TZ, /etc/localtime is used. TZDIR changes the named-zone directory. Missing/invalid timezone data fails explicitly; on Windows use -u, a POSIX TZ value or a TZif file when no timezone database is installed.

-d/--date accepts YYYY-MM-DD (local midnight), local YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS[.fraction] (a space may replace T), or @SECONDS, including signed fractions of up to nine digits. Input timezone suffixes are not supported; select the zone with TZ or -u. DST gaps and ambiguous local times are rejected; use an epoch timestamp to choose an exact instant. -I/--iso-8601 accepts date, hours, minutes, seconds or ns. -R/--rfc-email emits an RFC email timestamp. These output selectors cannot be combined with each other or a +FORMAT operand.

Supported format fields are %Y %y %m %d %e %H %M %S %j %a %A %b %h %B%F %T %R %s %N %z %Z %%. Names use the C locale. Other known GNU fields and format modifiers are rejected. The current clock has millisecond precision; supplied fractional epochs retain nanoseconds. Relative-date parsing, leap-second TZif files and setting the system clock are not implemented. The released date/time API accepts offsets within ±18 hours; larger offsets fail explicitly. --help and --version are available.

#Standalone metadata

Standalone --version prints exactly date 0.1.2 followed by one newline. Standalone --help starts with Usage: date, lists both metadata options, and ends with a newline. Both write to stdout, leave stdin unread, and exit with status 0. Exact-version publication and verification remain recorded separately in the support record.
