Package: coreutils
Version: 8.28-1
Severity: normal
manpage for "date" is as follows:
-I[FMT], --iso-8601[=FMT]
output date/time in ISO 8601 format. FMT='date' for date only
(the default), 'hours', 'minutes', 'seconds', or 'ns' for date
and time to the indicated precision. Example:
2006-08-14T02:34:56-06:00
...
--rfc-3339=FMT
output date/time in RFC 3339 format. FMT='date', 'seconds', or
'ns' for date and time to the indicated precision. Example:
2006-08-14 02:34:56-06:00
Here is the actual results:
$ date -Iseconds -d@0
1970-01-01T09:00:00+09:00
$ date --iso-8601=seconds -d@0
1970-01-01T09:00:00+09:00
$ date --rfc-3339=seconds -d@0
1970-01-01 09:00:00+09:00
Clearly, -I, --iso-8601= examples are wrong. So this is a bug.

PS: The use of @ is not explicitly defined but is captured in the
EXAMPLES in the manpage as "$ date --date='@2147483647'". So wishlist
bugs #590455 and #696115 is valid request to be forwarded to the
upstream.
