From b6db36b07ff60265a1a8b6661b1aac98f7a5e307 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pádraig Brady Date: Wed, 28 Oct 2015 13:50:40 +0000 Subject: doc: clarify iso-8601 formats used by ls and du * doc/coreutils.texi (du invocation): Remove 'like' from mentions of ISO-8601 as the components are individually conformant. (ls invocation): Likewise, except for --time-style=iso for recent files, where the MM-DD component is not a valid ISO-8601 timestamp. --- doc/coreutils.texi | 10 +++++----- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) (limited to 'doc') diff --git a/doc/coreutils.texi b/doc/coreutils.texi index b1ba097df..33585cbf3 100644 --- a/doc/coreutils.texi +++ b/doc/coreutils.texi @@ -7498,7 +7498,7 @@ files; if you want output columns to line up, you may need to insert spaces in one of the two formats. @item full-iso -List timestamps in full using ISO 8601 like date, time, and time zone +List timestamps in full using ISO 8601 date, time, and time zone components with nanosecond precision, e.g., @samp{2002-03-30 23:45:56.477817180 -0700}.
