-d STRING, --date=STRING
Display time described by STRING. STRING can be any string which can be parsed by Date::Manip. Please refer to the Date::Manip::Date
documentation for details.
-f DATEFILE, --file=DATEFILE
This reads each line in DATEFILE, and extracts a date from it and prints out the information.
Blank lines and lines starting with a pound (#) are ignored. Lines not containing a valid date are also ignored.
-r FILE, --reference=FILE
Displays the last modification time of FILE.
-R, --rfc-2822

Converts the date to UT (GMT) and prints out the information.
Only one of -d, -f, or -r should be included. If more than one is included, the first one from the list (-d, -f, -r) is used and any other
