Yes, -I is a synonym for --iso-8601, but both options were deprecated in 2005 by commit 2c29ba03 (and hence undocumented). One real fix would be to start making this option output a warning, so that we can delete it. http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2005-09/msg00056.html http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2005-07/msg00186.html Another would be to teach getdate.y how to parse 'T' as the separator between date and time, so that we could reinstate the option (it was deprecated because we feel badly about supporting an output format that we can't reparse as an input format). -- Eric Blake [email protected] +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
