Yes. The actual code is only after the dollar sign: `date --utc`. The dollar sign indicates that it is a command for a Unix shell (as a normal user, without ‘root’ rights, otherwise it's a #). When you'll have a free operating system, you'll be able to type such commands in a nice ugly window called ‘Terminal emulator’ or something like that, and see the result. The first word is the name of a command or program, while the other words are parameters, just as in: $ inkscape -e flat.png mydocument.svg > (I would guess that most people here, I mean all people, not just internet > users, don't even know what UTC is.

At school, I never heard of UTC; I only learned GMT. I searched the difference quite recently but forgot. UTC is often a reference in computers, even without Internet (what is a non-Internet user?).
