InUnix, thedate command displays and sets both the time and date, in a similar manner.
Thesyntax differs depending on the specific platform and implementation:
TIME.COM (among other commands) inIBM PC DOS 1.0.TIME [time]
TIME [hh-mm-ss] [/N]
Note:/N means no prompt forTIME.
TIME [/T | time]
When this command is called from the command line or a batch script, it will display the time and wait for the user to type a new time and press RETURN. Pressing RETURN without entering a new time will keep the current system time. The parameter '/T' will bypass asking the user to reset the time. The '/T' parameter is supported inWindows Vista and later and only if Command Extensions are enabled.[4]
TIME [/T] [hh[:mm[:ss]]] [AM | PM]/T: (display only)hh: The hour (0–23).mm: The minute (0–59).ss: The second (0–59), set to 0 if omitted.
