- ------------------------ TIME - Internal DOS Command -------------------------
-
- TIME displays and/or sets the time of day known to the system.
-
- FORMAT: TIME [hh:mm:ss.xx]
-
- REMARKS:
-
- hh - one or two digits (0-23) representing the hour
- mm - one or two digits (0-59) representing minutes
- ss - one or two digits (0-59) representing seconds
- xx - one or two digits (0-59) representing hundredths of a second
-
- If you enter partial time information (for example, just the hour and
- minutes), the remaining fields are set to zero.
-
- Entering TIME with no parameters will display the current time setting and
- prompt for a new time setting. If you do not want to reset the time, press
- the RETURN key.
-
- DOS will prompt you for the time when the system is started (unless an
- AUTOEXEC.BAT file is found). Specifying hours and minutes only is
- sufficient for most applications. When a file is written to disk, DOS stores
- the date and time it was written in the directory.
-
- EXAMPLE:
-
- Set the time to 2:30 pm:
-
- TIME 14:30
-
- or you can first display the time and let DOS prompt you for a new time:
-
- TIME
- Current Time is 00:22:11.33
- Enter new time: 14:30 <-- enter 14:30 and press RETURN
