-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 According to Dameon G. Rogers on 6/4/2008 10:09 PM: | Bug-coreutils, | | I would like to report a problem with the *date* command: | | date +%C | | does not function properly. It says it displays the current century
'date --help' (and thus the man page) defines what it is using as "century": ~ %C century; like %Y, except omit last two digits (e.g., 21) In other words, it is not the English definition, so much as (year % 100). ~ As the behavior of %C is specified by POSIX, about all we could do is change the description - any proposed wordings that would make this more clear to you? - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
