date 参考
$ date –help
Usage: date [OPTION]… [+FORMAT]
or: date [-u|--utc|--universal] [MMDDhhmm[[CC]YY][.ss]]
Display the current time in the given FORMAT, or set the system date.

-d, –date=STRING display time described by STRING, not `now’
# such as ‘n days ago |1 month ago|n years ago’
-f, –file=DATEFILE like –date once for each line of DATEFILE
-ITIMESPEC, –iso-8601[=TIMESPEC] output date/time in ISO 8601 format.
TIMESPEC=`date’ for date only,
`hours’, `minutes’, or `seconds’ for date and
time to the indicated precision.
–iso-8601 without TIMESPEC defaults to `date’.
-r, –reference=FILE display the last modification time of FILE
-R, –rfc-2822 output RFC-2822 compliant date string
-s, –set=STRING set time described by STRING
-u, –utc, –universal print or set Coordinated Universal Time
–help display this help and exit
–version output version information and exit

FORMAT controls the output. The only valid option for the second form
specifies Coordinated Universal Time. Interpreted sequences are:
