The default year is the current year. If the year is less than 100, we treat the years 00-68 as 2000-2068 and the years 69-99 as 1969-1999. Not all platforms can represent the years 38-70, so an error may result if these years are used. .TP \fIISO 8601 point-in-time\fR +.

Note that only these three formats are accepted. The command does \fInot\fR accept the full range of point-in-time specifications specified in ISO8601. Other formats can be recognized by giving an explicit \fB\-format\fR option to the \fBclock scan\fR command. .TP \fIrelative time\fR +. A specification relative to the current time. The format is \fBnumber unit\fR. Acceptable units are \fByear\fR, \fBfortnight\fR, \fBmonth\fR, \fBweek\fR, \fBday\fR, |
