The `date` command is found in the Bash shell, which is the default shell in most Linux distributions and even macOS. This tutorial shows you how to master `date` on the command line and how you can use it in shell scripts to do more than simply print the time.

`date`命令位于Bash Shell中，Bash Shell是大多数Linux发行版甚至macOS中的默认Shell。 本教程向您展示如何在命令行上掌握`date` ，以及如何在shell脚本中使用它来完成除简单地打印时间之外的其他操作。

Run the `date` command to see this information. It prints the current date and time for your timezone:

运行`date`命令以查看此信息。 它将打印您所在时区的当前日期和时间：

The default formatting looks a little goofy. Why isn’t the year printed after the month and day, instead of being tagged on at the end, behind the timezone? Have no fear: If it’s control over the format of the output you want, `date` delivers it in spades. There are more than 40 options you can pass to `date` to instruct it to format its output precisely as you’d like.

默认格式看起来有些愚蠢。 为什么不在月份和日期之后打印年份，而不是在时区后面的末尾加标签？ 不用担心：如果它控制着您想要的输出格式，那么`date`会以黑桃的形式传递出来。 `date` ，您可以传递40多个选项，以指示它完全按照自己的意愿格式化其输出。

To use any of the options type `date`, a space, a plus sign `+`, and the option *including* the leading percentage sign. The `%c` (data and time in locale format) option causes the date and time to be printed in the normalized format associated with your locale. Your locale is set by the geographical and cultural information you provided when you installed your operating system. The locale governs such things as the currency symbol, paper sizes, timezone, and other cultural norms.

要使用任何选项，请键入`date` ，空格，加号`+`以及*包含*前导百分号的选项。 `%c` (语言环境中的数据和时间)选项使日期和时间以与您的语言环境关联的规范化格式打印。 您的语言环境由安装操作系统时提供的地理和文化信息设置。 语言环境负责管理货币符号，纸张大小，时区和其他文化规范。

date +%c

The year now appears in a more natural position in the output.

现在，年份在输出中显得更加自然。

You can pass several options to `date` at once. A sequence of options is called a format string. To see the name of the day (`%A`), the day of the month (`%d`) and the month name (`%B`), use this command:

你可以通过几个选项`date`一次。 选项序列称为格式字符串。 要查看日期名称( `%A` )，月份的日期( `%d` )和月份的名称( `%B` )，请使用以下命令：

date +%A%d%B

![Output of the date command with A d B options][]

That worked, but it is ugly. No problem, we can include spaces as long as we wrap the entire format string in quotation marks. Note that the `+` goes *outside* the quotation marks.

那行得通，但是很丑。 没问题，只要将整个格式字符串都用引号引起来，我们就可以包含空格。 请注意， `+` *超出*引号。

date +"%A %d %B"

![Output of the date command with A d B option with spaces][]

You can add text to the format string, like this:

您可以将文本添加到格式字符串，如下所示：

date +"Today is: %A %d %B"

Scrolling up and down through the `date` [man page][] looking for the option you want soon becomes tiresome. We’ve wrangled the options into groups to help you find your way around them more easily.

在`date` [手册页上][man page]上下滚动以查找您想要的选项很快就会变得很烦。 我们将选项分组，以帮助您更轻松地找到解决方法。

![Output of the date command with AM PM indicator and formatting options][]

## 修改其他选项的选项 **(**Options to Modify Other Options**)** ##

These modifiers can be inserted between the `%` and the option letter of other options to modify their display. For example, `%-S` would remove the leading zero for single-digit seconds values.

这些修饰符可以插入`%`和其他选项的选项字母之间，以修改其显示。 例如， `%-S`会除去单位秒值的前导零。

*  **–**: A single hyphen prevents zero padding on single digit values.
    
    **–** ：单个连字符可防止对单个数字值进行零填充。
 *  **\_**: a single underscore adds leading spaces for single digit values.
    
    **\_** ：单个下划线为单个数字值添加前导空格。
 *  **0**: Provides leading zeroes for single digit values.
    
    **0** ：为单个数字值提供前导零。
 *  **^**: Uses uppercase, if possible (not all options respect this modifier).
    
    **^** ：如果可能，使用大写字母(并非所有选项都遵循此修饰符)。
 *  **\#**: Use the opposite to the default case for the option, if possible (not all options respect this modifier).
    
    **＃** ：如果可能，请使用与默认情况相反的选项(并非所有选项都遵循此修饰符)。

## 另外两个整洁的技巧 **(**Two More Neat Tricks**)** ##

To get the last modification time of a file, use the `-r` (reference) option. Note that this uses a `-` (hyphen) instead of a `%` sign, and it doesn’t require a `+` sign. Try this command in your home folder:

要获取文件的最后修改时间，请使用`-r` (引用)选项。 请注意，这使用`-` (连字符)代替`%`符号，并且不需要`+`符号。 在您的主文件夹中尝试以下命令：

date -r .bashrc

The TZ setting allows you to change your timezone for the duration of a single command.

TZ设置允许您在单个命令的持续时间内更改时区。

TZ=GMT date +%c

![Output of the date command for a different timezone][]

## 在脚本中使用日期 **(**Using Date in Scripts**)** ##

Enabling a Bash shell script to print the time and date is trivial. Create a text file with the following content, and save it as `gd.sh`.

启用Bash Shell脚本来打印时间和日期很简单。 创建具有以下内容的文本文件，并将其另存为`gd.sh`

#!/bin/bash
    
    TODAY=$(date +"Today is %A, %d of %B")
    TIMENOW=$(date +"The local time is %r")
    TIME_UK=$(TZ=BST date +"The time in the UK is %r")
    
    echo $TODAY
    echo $TIMENOW
    echo $TIME_UK

Type the following command to set the execution permissions and make the script executable.

键入以下命令来设置执行权限并使脚本可执行。

chmod +x gd.sh

Run the script with this command:

使用以下命令运行脚本：

./gd.sh

![Output of the gd.sh script][]

We can use the date command to provide a timestamp. The script shown will create a directory with the timestamp as its name. It will then copy all text files from the current folder into it. By running this script periodically we can take a snapshot of our text files. Over time we’ll build up a series of folders with different versions of our text files in them.

我们可以使用date命令来提供时间戳。 显示的脚本将创建一个以时间戳为名称的目录。 然后它将所有文本文件从当前文件夹复制到其中。 通过定期运行此脚本，我们可以拍摄文本文件的快照。 随着时间的流逝，我们将建立一系列包含不同版本文本文件的文件夹。

Note that this isn’t a robust backup system, it’s just for illustrative purposes.

请注意，这不是一个强大的备份系统，仅用于说明目的。

Create a text file with the following content, and save it as `snapshot.sh.`

创建具有以下内容的文本文件，并将其另存为`snapshot.sh.`

#!/bin/bash
    
    # obtain the date and time
    date_stamp=$(date +"%F-%H-%M-%S")
    
    # make a directory with that name
    mkdir "$date_stamp"
    
    # copy the files from the current folder into it
    cp *.txt "$date_stamp"
    
    # all done, report back and exit
    echo "Text files copied to directory: "$date_stamp

Type the following command to set the execution permissions and make the script executable.

键入以下命令来设置执行权限并使脚本可执行。

chmod +x snapshot.sh

Run the script with this command:

使用以下命令运行脚本：

./snapshot.sh

![Effect of running the snapshot.sh script][]

You’ll see that a directory has been created. Its name is the date and time at which the script was executed. Inside that directory are copies of the text files.

您会看到目录已创建。 它的名称是执行脚本的日期和时间。 在该目录内是文本文件的副本。

Given a bit of thought and creativity, even the humble `date` command can be put to productive use.

给定一个位的思想和创意，甚至不起眼的`date`命令可以投入生产使用。
