Subject: bug#24077: VS: bug in MAN page for data command
Date: Tue, 26 Jul 2016 09:13:17 +0200

Hi,

 I found that the MAN for "date" has wrong representation of "month" and "minutes".

 Command: date [-u|--utc|--universal] [MMDDhhmm[[CC]YY][.ss]]

 According to the description "%M" is minutes and "%m" is month... but 
 the command takes "%M" as month and "%m" as minutes ;)

http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/date.1.html

Best regards

This manual page is maintained by another project. See the following link for info about how to report bugs for that project:
