date command
 

Hi,

What does this command represent:

Thanks for your help.

GNU date is used to interact with the system's date and time; for one example it's very useful in scripting for adding dates and/or times to file names. Anyway I advise you to consult the manual to get a full listing of its capabilities including what %d/%m means (see the FORMAT section) -- there's such a wide array of capabilities you'd be doing yourself a disservice by not checking them out.

and use either arrow keys and page up/page down or vim style d, u, j, k to navigate.

Did you run it and see what the result was? What does it look like it represents?

yes, I swear I'm not that lazy to run the command. But it only shows today's date. So what's the use of all +%d/%m ?

I mean what precisely does it show and how does that relate to what you typed in?

I got it thank you
