# This sets the default output format of `date` to RFC-3339. For example:
#         2010-08-03 17:32:14-07
# See also .bash_aliases for bash functions 'epoch' and 'epoch-to-rfc-3339'.
# This is a trivial wrapper around the `date` utility.
# I did this because I couldn't remember the option "--rfc-3339=seconds".
# I don't have to remember the script name because I can just
# use tab completion. I didn't make this an alias because I wanted to
# be able to call this from inside tools like Vim. For example,
# in Vim I can type the following to insert a time-stamp:
#         :r!date-rfc-3339

# This format is similar to --rfc-3339, but this shortens the time-zone
# offset to the minimum number of digits necessary. For example:
#         2010-08-03 17:32:14-07
# instead of:
#         2010-08-03 17:32:14-07:00
date "+%F %T%:::z" "$@"
# This adds weekday name and month name:
# date "+%F %T%:::z (%A %B)"
