man date

[suigres]

hallo,

in date's manual page i read:

-s, --set=STRING

but i could change the date only with:

date -s22:00:00 +%T

why the equal sign if?

i could also read "FORMAT controls the output". If FORMAT option is has
no sense with -s option, and i use it nevetheless i wish to see a
warning or error.

mfg, suigres
