	  _C_t_i_m_e	converts one or	more Unix-internal (number of seconds
	  since	1 Jan 1970) dates into a human-readable	form, as
	  supplied by _c_t_i_m_e(3).	 _G_e_t_d_a_t_e does the inverse, as done by
	  _g_e_t_d_a_t_e(3).

	  _G_e_t_d_a_t_e actually accepts a somewhat wider range of input
	  than just output from	_c_t_i_m_e or _d_a_t_e(1); see _g_e_t_d_a_t_e(3) for
	  details.  Note that each _d_a_t_e	fed to _g_e_t_d_a_t_e must be _o_n_e
	  argument; it may be necessary	to enclose it in quotes.
