date@ − print the date on a host
date@ [ -version [ host ] ]
date@ connects via IP protocol -version (’-4’, ’-6’) to TCP port 13 (Daytime) on host and prints any data it receives. It removes CR and converts unprintable characters to a visible format.
If -version is not supplied, date@ uses by default IPv6.
If host is not supplied, date@ connects to the local host.
Some computers respond to port 13 with a human-readable date. For example, they may be running
tcpserver -v 0 13 date &
cat(1), delcr(1), tcpclient(1), tcpserver(1)
