locale: Display the current date format.
$ locale date_fmt
try on your machine
The command "locale date_fmt" is used to display the currently set date format in the system's default locale.
In Unix-like operating systems, the "locale" command displays or modifies the current locale settings. The "date_fmt" is one of the parameters of the locale setting, specifically responsible for defining the format in which dates are displayed.
When you run the "locale date_fmt" command, the system retrieves the current value of the date format in the default locale and displays it on the terminal. The format may vary depending on the locale configured on your system. For example, it may display as "%a %b %e %H:%M:%S %Z %Y", where each placeholder corresponds to a specific part of the date and time.
