According to Dameon G. Rogers on 6/4/2008 10:09 PM:
| Bug-coreutils,
|
| I would like to report a problem with the *date* command:
|
| date +%C
|
| does not function properly. It says it displays the current century
'date --help' (and thus the man page) defines what it is using as "century":
~ %C century; like %Y, except omit last two digits (e.g., 21)
In other words, it is not the English definition, so much as (year % 100).
~ As the behavior of %C is specified by POSIX, about all we could do is
change the description - any proposed wordings that would make this more
clear to you?

Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
