For GNU date, what's wrong with:
with you format also specified? If you lack GNU date, get a copy at a trusted source. Or, you can search here for my time utility tm2tm.c, which does the same sort of things.
Hello, using date, we can easily get today's date
$ date +%y-%m-%d
06-12-08
is it possible for me to get yesterday's date using 'date', if not, is there any quick and easy way to do that?
Thanks! (1 Reply)
I am not using GNU nor BSD. On AIX, how do you return yesterday in the format of i.e. "May 09" with a space.
# `TZ=y380 date +%h""%d`
>> May09
# `TZ=y380 date +%h" "%d`
>> May
I appreciate your help in advance.

px_date2string
PX_DATE2STRING(3) Library Functions Manual PX_DATE2STRING(3)NAME
PX_date2string -- Convert paradox date into formated string
SYNOPSIS
#include <paradox.h>
char * PX_date2string(pxdoc_t *pxdoc, long date, const char *format)
DESCRIPTION
Creates a string representation of a paradox date as specified in the parameter format. The date must be either retrieved with
PX_get_data_long(3) after calling PX_get_record(3) or by simply using the long value in the pxval_t struct as returned by
PX_retrieve_record(3). The function uses internally the PX_timestamp2string(3) function. The format string may contain all chars as docu-
mented with PX_timestamp2string(3), though only those concerning the date will produce resonable results.
RETURN VALUE
Returns pointer to string on success and NULL on failure.
