Name
dp - parse dates RFC 822-style
Syntax
/usr/lib/mh/dp [ -form file ] [ -format string ] [ -help ] [ -width columns ] dates
Description
The command parses dates according to the ARPA Internet standard. It also understands many non-standard formats, such as those produced by
TOPS-20 sites and some UNIX sites using It is useful for seeing how MH will interpret a date.
The program treats each argument as a single date, and prints the date out in the official RFC 822 format. Hence, it is usually best to
enclose each argument in double quotes (") for the shell.
Options
-form file
Overrides the default output format of The output is formatted according to the instructions in the specified file. This must be
a format file; see
-format string
Overrides the default output format of The output is formatted according to the instructions in the specified string. This must
be a format string; see
The argument to the -format option must be interpreted as a single token by the shell that invokes Therefore, you should usually
place the argument to this option inside double quotes (").
-help Prints a list of the valid options to this command.
-width columns
Specifies the width of the screen in columns.
The defaults for this command are as follows:
-width defaults to the width of the terminal
Examples
This is the default format string used by
%<(nodate{text})error: %{text}%|%(pretty{text})%>
When an error is detected, this prints error: and the date that is in error. Otherwise, it outputs the proper RFC 822 format of the date.
