@ -91,7 +91,13 @@ void FAST_FUNC parse_datestr(const char *date_str, struct tm *ptm)
* .SS Seconds, a number from 0 to 61 (with leap seconds)
* Everything but the minutes is optional
*
* This coincides with the format of "touch -t TIME"
* "touch -t DATETIME" format: [[[[[YY]YY]MM]DD]hh]mm[.ss]
* Some, but not all, Unix "date DATETIME" commands
* move [[YY]YY] past minutes mm field (!).
* Coreutils date does it, and SUS mandates it.
* (date -s DATETIME does not support this format. lovely!)
* In bbox, this format is special-cased in date applet
* (IOW: this function assumes "touch -t" format).
