NAME

dp − parse dates 822-style

SYNOPSIS

/usr/lib/nmh/dp [−form formatfile]
[−format string] [−width columns] dates ...
[−version] [−help]

DESCRIPTION

Dp is a program that parses dates according to the ARPA Internet standard. It also understands many non−standard formats, such as those produced by TOPS−20 sites and some UNIX sites using ctime(3). It is useful for seeing how nmh will interpret a date.

The dp program treats each argument as a single date, and prints the date out in the official 822−format. Hence, it is usually best to enclose each argument in double−quotes for the shell.

To override the output format used by dp, the ’−format string’ or ’−format file’ switches are used. This permits individual fields of the address to be extracted with ease. The string is simply a format string and the file is simply a format file. See mh−format(5) for the details.

Here is the default format string used by dp:

%<(nodate{text})error: %{text}%|%(putstr(pretty{text}))%>

which says that if an error was detected, print the error, a ’:’, and the date in error. Otherwise, output the 822−proper format of the date. ^$HOME/.mh_profile~^The user profile None ap(8)

(RFC−822) ’−format’ default as described above ’−width’ default to the width of the terminal None The argument to the ’−format’ switch must be interpreted as a single token by the shell that invokes dp. Therefore, one must usually place the argument to this switch inside double−quotes.
