* Restore the -n flag parsing, but ignore it.Warner Losh2019-04-241-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | Since D19668 was done, new users of the -n flag have surfaced. Parse and ignore it on the command line until they can be updated. Suggested by: rgrimes (in D19668). Notes: svn path=/head/; revision=346624

* Renumber copyright clause 4Warner Losh2017-02-281-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | Renumber cluase 4 to 3, per what everybody else did when BSD granted them permission to remove clause 3. My insistance on keeping the same numbering for legal reasons is too pedantic, so give up on that point.

| | | | | | | | | | As stated in the man page, this is equivalent to use "%a, %d %b %Y %T %z" as the output format while LC_TIME is set to the "C" locale. This is compatible with date(1) from the GNU core utilities. Notes: svn path=/head/; revision=264968

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | on March 31 won't take you to March 2 or 3 (now the result will be the last day of February.) In general, now stepping by months from the last days of the current month A will take you to the very last day of the target month B if B is shorter than A. The previous version would just step to March 31 and rely on mktime(3) to correct the date. Despite its simplicity, such way was counter-intuitive to users and caused pain to shell script writers.
