In
computing, TIME is a
command in
DEC
RT-11,
[1]
DOS,
IBM
OS/2,
[2]
Microsoft
Windows
[3] and a number of other
operating systems that is used to display and set the current
system time.
[4] It is included in
command-line interpreters (
shells) such as
COMMAND.COM
,
cmd.exe
,
4DOS,
4OS2 and
4NT.
The command is also available in the Motorola VERSAdos, [5] Intel iRMX 86, [6] PC-MOS, [7] SpartaDOS X, [8] ReactOS, [9] SymbOS, and DexOS operating systems as well as in the EFI shell. [10] On MS-DOS, the command is available in versions 1 and later. [11]
In
Unix, the
date
command displays and sets both the time and date, in a similar manner.
The syntax differs depending on the specific platform and implementation:
TIME [time]
TIME [hh-mm-ss] [/N]
Note: /N
means no prompt for TIME
.
TIME [/T | time]
When this command is called from the command line or a batch script, it will display the time and wait for the user to type a new time and press RETURN. Pressing RETURN without entering a new time will keep the current system time. The parameter '/T' will bypass asking the user to reset the time. The '/T' parameter is supported in Windows Vista and later and only if Command Extensions are enabled. [4]
TIME [/T] [hh[:mm[:ss]]] [AM | PM]
/T: (display only)
hh: The hour (0–23).
mm: The minute (0–59).
ss: The second (0–59), set to 0 if omitted.
[C:\]TIME
Current time is: 3:25 PM
Enter the new time:
C:\>TIME 15:42
C:\>TIME 3:42P
C:\SYS\SHELL\4DOS>TIME /T
19:30:42
