Print the Date and Time
Usage: dt [-nh-] [+format]
date prints the date and time to stdout. The default format
shows the day of the week, the date and time of day in
24-hour notation. If an operand beginning with + is given,
the format of the output is controlled by the field
descriptors and other text in that operand.
This command is normally stored in the file dt.exe and
invoked with an alias so it can be used from cmd.exe without
colliding with the internal cmd.exe date function.
Options:
+format When a format string is specified, each field
descriptor is replaced with its corresponding
value. All other characters are copied to the
output without change.
