NAME

date@ − print the date on a host

SYNTAX

date@ [ -version [ host ] ]

DESCRIPTION

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 &
