-d in open source date, nice, except my date commands never have it! I took all the C date/time routines and wrote the last date time tool you will ever need:

Code:

$ tm2tm

Usage: tm2tm { -c | { - | <tm_str> } <in_fmt> } <delta> <out_fmt>
 First, gets dates and time(s):
  - when '-c' is used, from gettimeofday() (microsecond system clock)
  - when '-' is used, from the front of each line of stdin per <in_fmt>
  - else, from the front of <tm_str> per <in_fmt>
 The default year is 2000, and for other elements, minimum values.
 The <in_fmt> is either one of these or composed per strptime():
    %s       Absolute Unix time in integer seconds
    %s.%F    Unix time in integer and fractional 6 place seconds
    %s.%f    Unix time in integer and fractional 1-6 place seconds
 Modify each time by <delta>, an optionally sign, integer number,
  and optional suffix indicating the time unit (default seconds):
    Y or y   years           m        months
    D or d   days            H or h   hours
    M        minutes         S or s   seconds
 Format the time by <out_fmt>, which supports all of the strftime() values,
  plus the following:
    %s       Absolute Unix time in seconds
    %F       Fractional 6 place seconds
    %f       Fractional 1-6 place, zero suppressed seconds
 Write the converted time plus any following input data to standard out.
 For example: tm2tm '5/7/05 15:34' '%m/%d/%y %H:%M' -8h '%Y-%m-%d %r %Z'
  prints '2005-05-07 07:34:00 AM EDT'
