bug#51288: Break date SYNOPSIS into two sections |

On the 'date' man and info pages,
SYNOPSIS
date [OPTION]... [+FORMAT]
date [-u|--utc|--universal] [MMDDhhmm[[CC]YY][.ss]]
Synopses:
date [OPTION]... [+FORMAT]
date [-u|--utc|--universal] [ MMDDhhmm[[CC]YY][.ss] ]
please break these down into:
printing the date:
date [OPTION]... [+FORMAT]
setting the date:
date [-u|--utc|--universal] [ MMDDhhmm[[CC]YY][.ss] ]
date [-s|--set] DATESTR
else the user in a panic to set the date, will try
# date -s 10140110
date: cannot set date: Invalid argument
Mon Jan 10 00:00:00 LMT 1014
Instead of
$ date 10140110
Only on
(info "(coreutils) Setting the time")
is the mystery revealed. P.S., on that page you should mention the
MMDDhhmm... string again, not just its components.
