I found out when I was trying to convert emerge.log and its date/time stamp. Before that, I had no idea the date command did that either. I just knew it was used to set the system time and date manually, like on a new install when it is to far off for ntpdate or chrony to correct. I do wish the emerge.log time stamp was like it is in messages. It just puts the date in something you can just read. :/ Dale :-) :-)
