What is the method for formatting dates in Linux?
In Linux, the date command can be used to format the output of the date. Here are some commonly used date formatting options:
- Display the complete date and time:
date
- Only display the date.
date +%F
- Show only the time.
date +%T
- Customize the formatting for output:
date +"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"
By adding the +% format option after the date command, you can output dates and times in different formats according to your needs. More format options can be viewed through the man date command.
