like --date once for each line of DATEFILE

%s seconds since `00:00:00 1970-01-01 UTC' (a GNU extension)

%Y year (1970...)
%z RFC-822 style numeric timezone (-0500) (a nonstandard extension)
%Z time zone (e.g., EDT), or nothing if no time zone is determinable
By default, date pads numeric fields with zeroes. GNU date recognizes the following modifiers between `%' and a numeric directive.
`-' (hyphen) do not pad the field `_' (underscore) pad the field with spaces
ENVIRONMENT
TZ Specifies the timezone, unless overridden by command line parameters. If neither is specified, the setting from /etc/localtime is
used.
