NAME
       pmdate - display an offset date


SYNOPSIS
       pmdate [ offset ... ] format


DESCRIPTION
       pmdate displays the current date and/or time, with an optional offset.

       An  offset  is  specified with a leading sign (``+'' or ``-''), followed by an integer value, followed by
       one of the following ``scale'' specifiers;

       S      seconds
       M      minutes
       H      hours
       d      days
       m      months
       y      years

       The output format follows the same rules as for date(1) and strftime(3).

       For example, the following will display the date a week ago as DDMMYYYY;
               pmdate -7d %d%m%Y


PCP ENVIRONMENT
       Environment variables with the prefix PCP_ are used to parameterize the file and directory names used  by
       PCP.   On  each  installation, the file /etc/pcp.conf contains the local values for these variables.  The
       $PCP_CONF variable may be used to specify an alternative configuration file, as described in pcp.conf(5).
