So I guess it's not a 'per-character' case switch but sets the case of all the characters in the string to the opposite case of the majority of the characters? Also date +%P gives pm or am, but neither date +%^P nor date +%#P change its output. date +%#pdoes turn date +%p which might give PM or AM into pm or am, respectively.
They are for the " singular field formats".Īpparently this last flag ( #) does not work as I'd expect (e.g., if date +%b gives Oct, date +%#b gives OCT as opposed to oCT) I guess this would be useless, but I'd think a lower case option would be more useful. N.B.: These flags don't work on the " combo formats" like %F, %D and %x. ^ use upper case if possible use opposite case if possible The following optional flags may follow `%': %x locale's date representation (e.g., 12/31/99)īy default, date pads numeric fields with zeroes. %e day of month, space padded same as %_d %B locale's full month name (e.g., January) %b locale's abbreviated month name (e.g., Jan) Here are some explanations from the man page: These date format options are, to my understanding, combinations of other format options. and either, or 03/10/19 if you're in the U.K., just to name a couple examples (of course there are more possibilities)
date +%x -r file will probably give either, or 10/03/19 if you're in the U.S.date +%D -r file will give you 10/03/19.stat -c %y file | cut -d' ' -f1 will give you.To specifically just get the date (using Octofor examples because it was my last birthday) Change shows the time the file status last changed.Modify shows the time of last data modification.Access shows the time of last data access (e.g.As mentioned by stat tells you various information about the file including the last modified date.Īt first, I was confused with Modify and Change, just to clarify, stat output lists:
