So, the man page should say 'Display the UTC in GMT time'?
If I understand it correctly, UTC is the timezone

Hi,
'date -u' on a 4.0 -stable will give something like
Tue Apr 10 22:03:24 GMT 2007
but shouldn't it be
Tue Apr 10 22:03:24 UTC 2007
UTC = GMT for all that we care about.
[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordinated_Universal_Time]]
i could be wrong here, but perhaps he is not suggesting
that there is any wallclock difference between GMT and UTC,
but rather that the manpage for date(1) says:
---
-u Display or set the date in UTC (Coordinated Universal) time.
---
as opposed to "... date in GMT ...", also as implied by how it is
'-u' and not '-g'
least, that was my reaction to his post?
