Subject: [9front] [PATCH] drop -m from man page
Date: Fri, 08 Dec 2023 16:54:53 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <3LVBWXI6WJJ63.20GTHGTTB4MVJ@openbsd> (raw)

Hi,

First timer here.  I noticed that the man page for date(1) as well as
the executable itself refers to a `-m` flag which doesn't exist
anymore.

Looking at the git/log of /sys/src/cmd/date.c I noticed this commit:

Hash:	2af46e406bbd443ae10025777247798a685afc3c
Author:	Ori Bernstein <ori@eigenstate.org>
Date:	Fri Aug 13 03:27:17 +0200 2021

	date: remove '-m' flag
	
	It's only ever been used by git, and is obsoleted
	by 'date -f'. Remove it.

So it's safe to say it's gone.


Best Regards,

Thim Cederlund
