Sorry to ask 2 simple questions in as many days... but I believe I have found another problem with GNU date.
Assertions: GNU date does not allow the date parsing pattern to be specified on the command line. Neither does it allow use of the DATEMSK env var to hack the behaviour of the internal call to the C library's getdate(). Neither does it change the parsing of dates based on the environment locale variables, eg: LC_TIME Thus: $ LC_TIME=en_GB.utf8 date --date "12/05/2005" Mon Dec 5 00:00:00 GMT 2005 but what it should really output is: Thu May 5 00:00:00 BST 2005 Are my assertions incorrect or is it indeed impossible to parse this date with the semantics that I want?
