.SH SYNOPSIS
.B date@
[
.I host
]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B date@
connects to TCP port 13 (Daytime) on
.I host
and prints any data it receives. It removes CR (\\015) and converts unprintable
characters to a visible format. 

If
.I host
is not supplied,
.B date@
connects to the local host. 

Some computers respond to port 13 with a human-readable date. For example,
they may be running 
.IP
tcpserver -RHl0 0 13 date
.P
using tcpserver.
