OK, maybe add an option that would show what all the flags are now, and in the current locale, $ date --examples-current which would give sort of like what $ set -- $(date --help| perl -anlwe 'next unless /./;$_=$F[0];s/^%/+%/||s/(^-.),/$1/||next;print') $ for i do echo $i;date $i;echo;done does now. But also add a plain $ date --examples which would give e.g., 11/22/2002 examples, so the user would be sure to see maximal spaced examples... _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
