Dates, MNEMONICS and relative date MNEMONICS
These notes apply to anywhere DATE is used...
DATE may be any date string that can be parsed using Time.parse. Consequently, you may omit the year if the date you want to display is the current year (e.g. /, or 1/31). For example: require 'time'; Time.parse('2023/01/02'); Time.parse('1/2/2023'); Time.parse('1/2') ## etc.
These notes apply to anywhere MNEMONIC is used...
A mnemonic may be any of the following: n|today|t|tomorrow|y|yesterday|+n|-n.
Where n, t, y are aliases for today, tomorrow, and yesterday, respectively.
Where +n, -n are relative date mnemonics (RDMs). Generally speaking, RDMs are relative to the current date. For example, a RDM of +1 would be equal to Time.now + 1.day (or tomorrow), and a RDM of -1 would be equal to Time.now - 1.day (or yesterday).
NOTE: In some cases the behavior RDMs have on some commands are context dependent; in such cases the behavior will be noted in the help appropriate to the command, for example see the following dsu command help: dsu list help date and dsu list help dates.
