NAME¶

date@ - prints the date on a remote host.

SYNOPSIS¶

date@ [ host ]

DESCRIPTION¶

date@ connects to TCP port 13 (Daytime) on host and prints any data it receives. It removes CR (\015) and converts unprintable characters to a visible format.

If host is not supplied, date@ connects to the local host.

Some computers respond to port 13 with a human-readable date. For example, they may be running

tcpserver -RHl0 0 13 date

using tcpserver.
