Subject: [9front] Document -f option of `date` command (patch)
Reply-To: 9front@9front.org
Precedence: bulk

This is the first time I've ever submitted a patch to 9front so please 
tell me if I've got anything wrong! I couldn't find a style guide for 
manpages so I copied how existing ones were formatted the best I can.
