A Unix MAN page for dating
DATE(6) GAMES AND DEMOS DATE(6)
NAME
date - get and print a date
SYNOPSIS
date [ -s ] [ -local ] [ -k ] option=value
DESCRIPTION
If no arguments are given, a date will be selected at ran-
dom. Providing an argument will restrict the search pool of
dates. Hopefully these arguments will not carry forward
into the actual date. Only the superuser can select dates
by name.
The -s option registers you in the date database and (if not
local) posts your vitals to alt.personals (and, optionally,
alt.sex.wanted).
Using the -k option selects a date, but does not make any
further arrangments.
Ranges are specified with parentheses and brackets: (18,25)
is 18 to 25 exclusive while [18,25] is 18 to 25 inclusive.
An array of selections is given with braces such as {blonde,
burunette, redhead}. Multiple responses are separated with
commans, sex=female,yes,please
-blind
To arrange a blind date.
view [ _^Hm_^Hu_^Hs_^Ht ]
View prospective date's picture. To locate a picture,
_^Hd_^Ha_^Ht_^He searches several picture databases, including
FaceSaver (uunet.uu.net) alt.sec.pictures,
alt.binaries.pictures.erotica, and several FTP gif
archives. You must have access to the Internet for FTP
to work.
If view=must is set, and _^Hd_^Ha_^Ht_^He is unable to find a pic-
ture, a request will be automaticly posted to
alt.binaries.pictures.d asking for one.
Options to xv(1) may follow "view" or be put in the
environment parameter XV
The following options restrict the search pool to those who
have supplied the necessary information.
